Silver Fox Farm has a small part in helping the environment!!!!

Silver Fox Farm is doing their part to conserve our resources, which in turn helps the environment.
With the extreme cold temperatures, water buckets are freezing. Silver Fox Farm has decided to put the frozen buckets into a wheel barrel and wheel them out to the water troughs. The ice is broken and put into the HEATED water troughs instead of throwing the ice outside. The ice is warm water by the time the horses get around to drinking.

In conserving energy, Silver Fox Farm has purchased the thermo cube. The thermo cube plugs into an outlet, which automatically turns on when the temperate reaches 35 degrees and will turn off when the temperature reaches 45 degrees. We are using this for all our water trough heaters so electric is not wasted. This unit can be found in any of the horse catalogs for around $10.00.

Until next time, Happy Riding!!!!
