WaterMaster 1400
Water. It’s vital for every system in an animal’s body … from digestion to nutrient transport to temperature regulation. Keep fresh, clean water flowing for up to 500 cattle with a low-maintenance, long-lasting WaterMaster 1400.
The Ritchie Situation
Customers like you told us they need a heavy-duty waterer for larger herds. Sounded like a situation for Ritchie. So we went to work on the longest poly waterer in our lineup. At 14-feet long (4.3 meters) and holding 110 gallons (416 liters), the WaterMaster 1400 is the biggest Ritchie in our history.

Installation Tips
Install your waterer on a concrete pad to prevent mud, erosion and shifting. This keeps footing safe and water clean.
Add an immersion heater to keep water flowing in freezing temps. Your cattle stay hydrated, and you skip the ice-chipping chore.
Spread ag lime around the concrete pad to reduce mud, neutralize odors and improve drainage. It’s simple, effective and low cost.
