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.
