Cows will also have a peak water intake during the early afternoon and early evening, so water provision should be planned accordingly. Whether herds are housed or out grazing, there must be enough water-trough space available during these periods to meet increased demand. Ideally, cows should have to walk no more than 250m to access water, and there must be at least 10cm of drinking space allocated per cow.
