Get an 8 to 10-foot length of 2 to 3-foot diameter culvert pipe.
With your backhoe (you DO have one, don't you?), dig an 8 to 10 foot
deep hole. Stand the culvert straight up so its top is even with ground
level, then backfill around it. 

Greetings Doug,

I've heard a slightly different version of this.  Same deal with a four
foot culvert in the ground 8 to 10 feet, but with the bottom of the
culvert welded shut, it becomes a very deep four foot round stock tank
(insulate any portion that sticks out above the ground.  You add a Oase
fountain pump and a 20 watt PV module.  The pump sits at the bottom and
an output hose is near the top, but perhaps a foot below the point where
the tank might freeze to overnight.  The 20 watt module will run the
small (high quality, continuous duty, 4yr warrantee) pump even on a
cloudy day which opens the ice.
