In about a month I'll be buying 3 ewe lambs to board at my friend's farm that has no running water. I'm trying to find some way to get water from their large pond pumped to the sheep's water trough. We'll have the sheep in rotational paddocks so they won't have direct access to the ponds.
I'm having a hard time finding a pump that obviously will work in this situation. I seem to find stuff about sump pumps or well pumps. Can a sump pump be used to send water from a pond to a trough? How do you ensure it's not sending water continuously? Would a well pump work in a pond?
Or do you have any other ideas?
