A $15 dollar outdoor faucet for the goat yard... works a lot better than just a garden hose!
You'll need a faucet with a screw plate (ca. $4), a piece of threaded pipe (ca. $1,50), an L shaped coupling (ca. $3) and a swivel gardenhose connector (ca. $3).
Drill a hole 7/8ths (or 1 inch, depending on what drills you have lying around) from the side of the faucet at a 90 degree angle. Use plumbers tape to waterproof the pipe connections.
Obviously only works when it does not freeze! Disconnect hose and drain water before first severe frost to protect faucet parts.
