Livestock Watering Equipment: Caring For Your Livestock Even When You Are Away
As a livestock farmer, you know the importance of feeding and watering your livestock regularly to keep them healthy. However, maintaining healthy drinking water at all times is a big job, especially if you are a keeper of a large herd or supply of animals. Livestock watering equipment has been developed to take the hassle out of the job, and to ensure that there is fresh drinking water even if you are not at home.
The Miller Automatic Watering Bowl, for example, is made of galvanized steel, and fits directly to your water supply. A float in the bowl allows it to maintain at optimal level at all times. It measures 8 inches in diameter and 4 3/8 inches deep, so it is ideal for medium sized animals, like your hog or goat. The keyword for seeking this item at acehardwaresuperstore.com is GALV WATERER, and it is priced at $39.95.
The Plastic Cattle Water Bowl mounts directly to a pipe or a flat surface. Cows learn to bump the nose paddle, which, in turn, releases water at any time. This durable, nonsiphoning bowl is also ideal for your horse or your sheep. This bowl is 10 inches deep and 9 5/8 inches wide; there is no limit to how often an animal can bump it to get more fresh water. This item is available at enasco.com for $49.75.

Farm suppliers like valleyvet.com carry the anti-bacterial water bowl for safe grazing. The nonsiphoning float keeps the water at a constant level in the bowl, and refills automatically. It hooks directly to your water supply, and is made from powder coated anti-bacterial steel. This product sells for $41.95 each, but prices drop if you purchase a quantity of 6 or more. At mypetchicken.com, you can purchase a Galvanized Chicken Waterer. The 3-gallon model is ideal for up to ten chickens. Double walled galvanized steel keeps the water cool, and the enclosed construction maintains fresh water until it falls into the watering tray to be drunk. A brass valve with a rubber sealing washer supplies a positive shutoff. This item is 15 inches high and 12 ¼ inches wide. It is priced at $24.00. Other retailers and dealers, such as scruggsfarms.com, sell this and similar waterers. If you are looking for a system to water a large group of livestock, the MiraFount Livestock Watering System will care for 100 head of beef cattle or 40 head of dairy cattle. The polyethylene construction is durable and will withstand weathering and abuse it may get from the cattle using it. The unit is 36 inches long by 24 inches wide, and stands 18 inches high. The 2 to 3 inches of urethane insulation keeps water in the reservoir cool. This system is available at scruggsfarms.com for $529.99. A cast iron watering bowl is sold at ozbo.com. This cattle watering bowl attaches to your water source and maintains a constant level with a float. This is a black bowl, easy to care for, and durable. It is priced at $53.19. |
