Cute! Can't believe they haven't broken that thing to bits, especially in the cold weather when the plastic gets brittle.

They don't normally climb inside it, that's why I had to get a picture.

Cow eggs... ha!

They look very happy--at least the one in the hay pool, the other looks jealous--better get him/her one too.

I have a few of them. I got them for like 2 bucks each because half of them had cracks in em. I use them for water mostly though. The ones with cracks in the bottom I figured would make ok feeders until they get destroyed.

If I let her my wife might try it. She was trying to get me to heat the barn all winter.... I told her if she can find people willing to pay 20 bucks a pound for beef on the hoof I'll do it.

Already named. TBone is in the pool and Rib Eye is the other. Both will be food whether the women like it or not...

That's funny. You never know what they'll do next. If you had wanted them to lay in it, they never would.

That is so cute, I keep those pools around too in the summertime with water in it...one for the dogs and one for my stallion. It keeps the dogs from jumping into the water troughs.
