Automatic Livestock Water Troughs

Available in 7’, 10’, and 12’ models, Tusker troughs are automatic refill watering systems that connect to a waterline to provide a continuous flow of fresh water for your cattle. Along with their design, this makes them ideal for:

  • Large herd cattle watering
  • Dairy farm water systems
  • Feedlot livestock watering
  • Pasture and rotational grazing setups
  • High-volume livestock water demand
  • Freeze-resistant winter watering applications

Whether you’re watering beef cattle in open pastures or supporting high-demand dairy operations, Tusker troughs deliver durable performance built for long-term agricultural use.

Why Choose a Livestock Water Trough?

They're designed for larger herds and high-traffic watering areas.

Livestock water troughs are one of the most efficient ways to provide consistent water access for beef cattle, dairy cows, and large herd operations. Compared to smaller bowl-style waterers, trough systems offer greater drinking space, larger water reserves, and improved access during peak demand periods. Tusker troughs are engineered for producers who need dependable livestock watering with less maintenance and greater durability.

Trough waterers provide more simultaneous drinking access, making them ideal for larger cattle groups, feedlots, and high-traffic watering locations. 

The smooth poly construction helps simplify cleaning while resisting corrosion, rust, and deterioration commonly associated with metal tanks. 

Larger water capacities help maintain water availability during periods of high livestock consumption, especially in summer months or dairy applications. 

Tusker troughs feature rotationally molded polyethylene construction with foam insulation and UV protection for long-lasting durability in harsh agricultural environments. 

Ideal for:

  • Pastures
  • Feedlots
  • Dairy farms
  • Rotational grazing systems
  • Remote livestock watering setups

Optional heating systems and insulated construction help reduce freezing risks during cold-weather operation.
