Large Cast Iron Cattle Drinking Water Bowl

Product Overview

The Large Cast Iron Cattle Drinking Water Bowl is a heavy-duty automatic waterer built for the toughest cattle housing. A solid black cast iron bowl holds a stainless steel tongue lever that releases water when the cow nuzzles it and closes when the animal moves away. The bowl is about 28 cm long, 21 cm wide and 10 cm high, a large size made for adult beef cattle and dairy cows. The big iron bowl holds a steady pool of water that cows drink in long, comfortable visits. The depth also means a whole herd can take turns without the bowl running empty between refills.

At about 3800 g, the cast iron body is the heaviest bowl in this drinking bowl line, which means it stays fixed firmly on the wall even when large cattle push against it. The bowl is packed 5 pieces per box, suited to feedlots and intensive beef operations where heavy waterers take the most punishment. Because cast iron absorbs rough handling, feedlot managers choose it where plastic bowls would crack within months. The iron body also handles bumps from gates and trolleys that would damage lighter waterers.

Key Features and Benefits

• Cast iron body - solid iron construction resists crushing, impacts and years of contact in busy feedlots.

• 3800 g solid weight - the massive body stays put on the wall, with no flexing when cattle lean on it.

Materials and Quality

The bowl body is cast iron with a black surface finish, made to shrug off impacts that would crack plastic or dent thin steel. The tongue lever is stainless steel, because the metal survives the heaviest nuzzling in a feedlot. Each bowl is checked before shipment for lever movement and water-tight mounting, so the heavy unit arrives ready for installation on a solid wall. The black finish protects the iron surface, and the bowl keeps its shape even under a cow's full weight leaning against it. When ordering, tell us your wall type, and we can advise on the fixing hardware to pair with the heavy bowl. Feedlot managers also report fewer broken waterers after switching from light plastic to this cast iron model. The heavy body also absorbs the impact of gates swinging closed beside the water point.

How to Use and Maintain

Mount the bowl on a solid wall or concrete face at cow head height, connect the water line, and test the tongue action. Because the bowl is heavy, use strong fixings suited to cast iron load. Rinse the bowl regularly and flush the water line filter; the iron surface can be wiped dry if pools of water sit after washing. Mount on brick or concrete rather than thin wood, since the bowl's weight and cow pressure demand a solid backing.

Applications

This heavy bowl suits beef feedlots, bull pens and large dairy barns where cattle press hard on waterers and light bowls would not last. Its large capacity also fits hot summer weather when cattle drink more per visit. It also suits bull pens and bull test stations where waterers must survive rough daily contact.

Livestock equipment wholesalers offer it as the heavy-duty option in the cattle waterer range. The 5-piece box packing suits farm depot orders and container shipments to large cattle regions. The heavy weight makes shipping planning important; we can advise on pallet loading for your region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why choose cast iron over a plastic bowl?

Cast iron resists impacts and crushing, which matters in busy feedlots where cattle press hard on waterers daily. For dairy barns where cows are calmer, the blue plastic bowl is usually sufficient.

Q2: What size is the bowl?

The bowl is about 28 cm long, 21 cm wide and 10 cm high, weighing about 3800 g.

Q3: How many bowls are in a box?

The packing is 5 pieces per box, suited to feedlot supply and container orders. Five pieces fill a corner of a container when ordered together with other farm gear. The deep iron bowl also keeps its shape in cold winters, since the thick body resists cracking when water inside freezes.

Q4: How does the cow operate the water flow?

The cow nuzzles the stainless steel tongue lever to open the valve; releasing it stops the flow automatically. The same tongue design is used across our cattle waterer line, so staff already know how it works. The cast iron body also does not dent when a bull pushes against it during mounting season. Feedlots also value the simple shape, which leaves nowhere for dirt to hide between weekly rinses.
