The Thrifty King CT2-2000 is a double-sided livestock waterer for up to 100 beef cattle. It can be split by a fence line or set up in a stand-alone application. As part of the Thrifty King line, the CT2-2000 is so well insulated that many operations don’t need heat to get through winter. And those that need heat say it doesn’t take much energy to maintain water temperature. It’s all thanks to the fully insulated polyethylene body and elliptical enclosures. And by covering the water, the enclosures keep water cooler in the summer, reduce evaporation and prevent mosquito breeding.

  • Elliptical closures tip easily so animals can drink without resistance, unlike balls.
  • Solid foam insulation completely sealed in impact-resistant polyethylene helps maintain water temperature.
  • Unique water seal keeps cold air away from the valve.

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.
