The CattleMaster line blends technology from traditional stainless-steel units and our rugged poly units for premier heated livestock waterers. Featuring thermostatically controlled heat for ice-free operation and Ritchie’s quick-refill valve, CattleMaster waterers can handle your herd’s hydration needs in any climate.
The body of the 12-foot (3.65-m) CattleMaster 1440 is made from Ritchie’s impact-resistant polyethylene. Its roto-molded construction is heavily insulated for energy efficiency, while UV inhibitors extend its life. This heavy-duty unit waters up to 475 beef cattle or 240 dairy cattle.
