Description

The same 52 inch length as the cattle trough, dropped to a height calves, sheep and lambs can actually drink from, with eleven gallons behind it.

The body is 100 percent 304 stainless steel in a heavy 14 gauge, inside and out. That matters most at the water line, which is where a painted or galvanized waterer starts to go first. There is no coating to chip and nothing underneath it to rust.

Electric heat and a self regulating thermostat come standard from the factory. The thermostat is what keeps the running cost down, because the heater only draws when the water actually needs it rather than running all winter. High density insulation through the body is what lets a modest heater hold the water open on a cold night, so the two work together.

The top cover lifts off by gravity, so cleaning it out is a bucket and a few minutes rather than a job with a wrench.

11 gallons of capacity, 20 1/2 inches wide by 24 1/2 inches high by 52 inches long. Built by Smidley in Britt, Iowa.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many head will the Calf and Sheep Trough water?

Smidley does not publish a head count for this unit. Go by the 11 gallons of reserve and the 52 inches of drinking space, and if you are close to the line, size up rather than down.

Does it come heated, or is heat an add on?

It comes heated. Electric heat and a self regulating thermostat are standard from the factory. The thermostat is the part that keeps the bill down, because the heater only draws when the water actually needs it rather than running all winter.

Will it rust out at the water line?

It is 100 percent 304 stainless steel in a heavy 14 gauge, inside and out. There is no paint to chip and no galvanizing to wear through, which is what usually fails first on a steel waterer, right at the water line.

How much work is it to keep clean?

The top cover lifts off by gravity, so there is nothing to unbolt before you can get into the tank. Scrub it, rinse it and set the cover back on.

How does it ship?

This one ships freight at 130 lb. You can also pick it up in Britt, Iowa if you would rather collect it yourself. Add it to the cart and enter your address at checkout, or send the freight quote request before you order.
