Portable Livestock Water

Sometimes in our rotational grazing system a paddock will not have adequate water. Therefore in certain cases we haul water to the animals. In this video, I cover my portable livestock watering system, its pros and cons, as well as future plans for expansion.

    I’m currently using a Jobe Rojo float valve with good success for a low psi system like this. It feeds to the bottom of the tank as opposed to the top like yours so you get about an extra foot of head pressure.

    Painting the tanks black will help with the algae build up.

    I have a 330 gallon on a old hay wagon. Works real well. I’ll add more tanks as I need them. I don’t want more than a weeks worth of water at a time because of like you said algae. When I add more I’ll tie them together and only water out of 1 then as it empty’s just open a valve of the next to merge both tanks together. And then a 3rd tank and so on. Great video

    I know everyone has a different situation, but try running an electric like blocking the goats from the float and the hoses. You can also place poles on the side of the tube if they are bad about knocking the tubs over.

    Where did you get the adaptor from the valve on the tote to go reduce to a water hose I bought one on Amazon but it's a different thread.

    Had to spend some time in the hardware store searching through fittings. Couldn’t tell you the specifics.
