Think outside the box. Find the largest plastic container you can find. Like a 30 gallon or larger plastic trash can. Try to find one that will give you the largest laterial surface area. Put a cement block in the botton and fill it with water. You may want to put the container on a few brick to allow water to flow under the container. Put your heater inside the trash can. Put the lid on the can to keep the cows from drinking from the plastic container. The idea is to electrically insulate the heater from the water the cows drink from. Hopefully the heat transfered through the plastic container will keep enough ice melted for the cows to get a drink without getting shocked. If that doesn't work well enough try using an air pump for a fish tank. Wal-mart sells a pump for 2-60 gallon tanks for around $11. I use the air pump on my small fish pond. The air bubbles keep a hole in the ice. This keeps my oxygen levels up and I don't get winter fish kill. Let me know if it works..LOL George
