Mobile Water Tank For Cows On Pasture

Moile Water Tank For Cows On Pasture LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 22-6-9 "Here's how I water my cows which are on rotational grazing," says David Horst, Saegertown, Penn. "I paid $200 for a new 425 gal. poly spray tank and mounted it in the back of an old pickup that runs but isn't much good for any-thing else. "A 50-gal. stock tank mounts on the truck bumper. To mount it, I drilled two holes in the top of the bumper to hang a couple of brackets formed to fit the tank. I put a float in the tank and built a guard around it. "There's enough water to supply 35 cows for 24 hours, so every day I just drive it back to the farmyard and fill up. "If I need the truck for something else, the 50-gal. tank lifts right off and the big tank slides right out. Takes only a couple minutes. "This system is a lot easier than dragging lines and tanks around from pasture to pasture. I've had a lot of positive comments on it."
