Hot or cold water in the winter?

In school we were taught that hot water freezes faster than cold water. To give the animals cold water would mean a longer time of drinkable water before it freezes in the barn? My dad says that though it is freezing faster because the rate of which the waters temperature changes is greater since the total temperature change is greater given the animals hot water in the winter will result in a larger window of drinkable water. @asklemmygrad

    it is better do drink warm water in the summer or the winter, because it is better for the digestive system and it needs less energy to warm up in the body

      Idk, where I am, in summers, bringing down core temperature and raising it in winters can be the difference between life and death. But it’s better to being cold water to temp with a heat source.
