After Jo's call to Guy I went over to Bramshot Heath to sort out the water situation. I scooped a load of the slush out of the trough which left them quite a bit of water available.
There is also a large scrape around L6/M6 which holds a lot of water at this time of year (more like a pond!) so I broke up a load of the ice covering this so that the cattle could access the water.
There's now plenty of water available for them and I'll be out again to double check and re-break the ice if required. Looks like it is going to be mild tomorrow with rain moving in tonight so hopefully it'll all thaw out quite quickly.
Jo, thanks for reporting the water shortage. It shows how quickly they can deplete a trough full once the supply freezes up.
