Kittitas Co. Wa. State

Depending on your conditions, fences, road(s), etc..  You might look into the cheap poly pipe. (NO it is not the regular poly pipe!)  It's used in lower pressure mister situations. 1/2 inch is about .03-.04 cents/foot and comes in 100 foot. The normal poly press in unions will work in the pipe. It is not a good idea to drive over the stuff, but if your situation fits, the pipe could be laid along a fence line, etc..  Probably have to fill the even flow tank the first time, then 1/2 inch should keep up with the needed draw.

 A $150 worth of pipe and fittings would be a lot cheaper in the long run and less hassle than packing 1500 gallons of water a day, for however many days you're going to have the cows there.   

I've done that before to get water to a herd, was only 4-500 feed but worked fine. You do have to keep it away from the animals, they're like little kids,, gotta play/pull/step on/chew everything.
