Solar Cattle Waterer LIVESTOCK Miscellaneous 10-1-9 "Before I built this solar cattle waterer, the calves were getting a meal of mud everytime they went for milk because I couldn't keep the cows out of the waterhole," says Martin Wedman, Valleyview, Alberta.
The solar waterer's powered by a tractor battery that's kept at full charge with a 3-amp solar panel. The battery runs a 12-volt bilge pump protected inside 1/8-in. hardware cloth screen and floating under a sealed up 5-gal. plastic pail that floats on the surface of the pond. A light rope is tied to the pail to pull it to the side when needed.
