Jim I would recommend the CT1 2000 where you live. The watermatic is more apt to freeze with the open design that it has. Now I assume that you are going to use the optional electric heat on either one. I have two CT2 2000's and neither has electric heat.(I'm a little farther south) The one in the feed lot where the cattle drink at odd intravals never freezes. But the one for the cows on cornstalks that all come to drink at all at once will slightly freeze over nite. The secret to keeping them thawed out is fresh water coming in every once in a while.
The more cattle you have drinking out of one the better. It is also important to install with the large stand pipe that they recommend. If I know its going to be a cold nite I will dip a bucket or two of water out of the cow waterer before dark and that sure helps. A wind break also helps. If you are not using the electric heat the Watermatic will never work for you. With that all said the commander series is a good choice from Ritchie also but that is full electric heat. If I sound like a salesman it is because I do sell the Ritchie waterers. Never heard of a Jug waterer here so I don't know a thing about them. Gary
