100 sheep, 100 goat

Sale price $525.00 Regular price $557.00

Common Applications

  • The WaterMatic 150S is ideal for goat pens, sheep operations, miniature horse paddocks, calf pens, hobby farms, and mixed small livestock setups where traditional cattle waterers are too tall or too easy for animals to climb on. Its low-profile design makes it especially effective for young livestock and miniature breeds, while the domed cover helps reduce standing, climbing, contamination, and manure buildup around the drinking area. It also works well in barn interiors, rotational grazing systems, small pasture divisions, and fence-line installations where dependable water access and low maintenance are important.

Description

The Ritchie WaterMatic 150S is a specialized automatic waterer designed specifically for goats, sheep, miniature livestock, calves, and other smaller animals that require a lower drinking height and safer access to water. Unlike standard livestock waterers, the 150S features a domed cover design that helps eliminate standing and climbing, reducing contamination and helping protect the unit from unnecessary wear.

Built as part of the Ritchie WaterMatic family, the 150S combines simple maintenance, low water waste, and dependable year-round performance in a compact two-trough design. The 13-inch drinking height makes it easy for smaller animals to access water comfortably, while the fully insulated casing helps maintain cooler water in summer and provides added winter protection.

The unit features Ritchie’s drop-in cover system for easy cleaning and maintenance, along with sloped trough surfaces and drain openings for quick debris removal. A fast refill valve system keeps fresh water available on demand while minimizing standing water and waste. Optional immersion heaters and self-regulating heat cables can be added for freezing conditions.
