CATTLE PREFER CLEAN WATER. Research has shown cattle prefer water that is pumped out of a creek and into a trough. 80% of the time the cattle would walk to the trough for water versus going into the creek which had no fencing along it. They would often walk farther to drink from the trough rather than the creek which offered the same water.
HEALTHIER ANIMALS. If you have a dugout your livestock wade all over in it and churn up all the mud and feces on the bottom and then go ahead and drink it all over again. How unhealthy does that seem? Diseases such as foot rot are greatly reduced by keeping your livestock high and dry. Cows will be healthier resulting in higher conception rates and more nutritious milk.
FASTER WEIGHT GAIN. Other research has shown that calves with access to clean water versus those that walk in the water they drink, gain 0.5+ lbs/day faster. That’s a huge 75+ lbs extra per 150 day grazing period. You do the math! It’s cash straight into your pocket.
SAVE MONEY. With the price of fuel steadily rising, hauling water or running gas pumps isn’t very attractive.
MORE FAMILY TIME. Our systems do not eliminate the need to check your water supply, but they will save you time and on the ranch, there are 100 other things that need to be done.
