As a double-sided automatic waterer with four drinking areas, the Thrifty King CT4-2000 is designed to water up to 200 beef cattle in a fence-line or stand-alone application. It’s made to stand up to the seasons, keeping water cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The fully insulated polyethylene body insulates water so well that many operations don’t need heat. And when a heater is needed, the energy requirements are low.
An elliptical enclosure covers the drinking areas, helping regulate temperature, reduce evaporation and prevent mosquito breeding.
-
Elliptical closures tip easily so animals can drink without resistance, unlike ball waterers.
-
No tools, springs or clips needed to open the finger-lift service cover.
-
Solid foam insulation completely sealed in impact-resistant polyethylene helps maintain water temperature.
