Built for performance in any weather, CattleMaster waterers pair the proven strength of stainless steel with the resilience of Ritchie’s poly construction. Thermostatically controlled heat and a quick-refill valve keep fresh water flowing — even in the coldest conditions.

The casing of the CattleMaster 840 is made from Ritchie’s heavy-duty, impact resistant polyethylene. The roto-molded construction is heavily insulated for energy efficiency with UV inhibitors to extend life. With a 16-inch (40-cm) drinking height, this 7-foot (2.13-m) waterer is ideal for large pastures or pens and waters up to 300 beef cattle or 150 dairy cattle.

  • Cable heater provides extra valve and supply line protection.
  • Easy-access dome cover makes maintenance simple.
  • Trough and hardware are manufactured from 304 stainless steel for durability and long product life.

We stand behind what we build. That’s why our polyethylene (poly) waterers are backed by a 10-year limited warranty* and our stainless-steel troughs are covered by a 10-year, 100% warranty against manufacturing defects and corrosion.

It’s simple: Reliable products should come with a warranty to match.
