how about fitting a mesh to the bath about 4 inches below the surface
- the stock can drink
but the owls could walk off
yes they would be wet
but htey have a fighting chance
Well made and well fitted it would be a lift out and push in fit

The water pressure isn't high enough for this. The cattle nearly empty
the tank at times. However what should work would be a mesh fitted with
floats so that it's always a couple of inches below the surface.
