Sheep Drinking Bowl with Copper Valve Large

Product Overview

The Sheep Drinking Bowl with Copper Valve Large is a wall-mounted automatic waterer for sheep and goats. A green plastic bowl carries a brass copper valve on its back bracket: the animal presses the valve to draw water, and the flow cuts off automatically once it lets go. The bowl is about 21 cm wide and 15 cm high, a larger size for mature sheep and goat herds. The extra width means two lambs can approach at once without shoving for the valve.

The large size gives more drinking space per animal, which helps reduce crowding at the water point during busy feeding times. The wider opening also gives mature goats more chin room while they press the valve. The copper valve inlet is about 2 cm, a standard connection for farm water lines. This bowl is a popular choice on commercial sheep farms that need durable automatic drinking across the whole shed. It is a steady seller on sheep farms moving from open troughs to automatic drinking points.

Key Features and Benefits

• Green plastic bowl - smooth molded body that is easy to rinse and blends quietly into the pen.
• Brass copper valve - reliable press-to-open valve that closes fully after each drink.
• 21 cm wide large bowl - wider than the standard sheep bowl, suiting mature sheep and goats.
• 2 cm valve inlet - standard water-line connection for quick installation.
• Wall bracket mounting - fixing holes on the back plate allow firm bolt-on at sheep head height.
• Water-saving design - the valve only opens on demand, which keeps fresh water waste low.

Materials and Quality

The bowl is molded from green plastic with a smooth inner surface that rinses clean. The valve core is brass copper, which stays smooth after thousands of press cycles. Each bowl is checked before shipment for valve action and mounting holes, so the large bowl arrives ready to connect. The green finish resists staining from normal pen moisture. The shell is molded in one piece, so there are no seams for water to seep through over time.

How to Use and Maintain

Bolt the back bracket to the wall at sheep head height and connect the water line to the 2 cm valve inlet. Check for leaks at the joint. Rinse the bowl weekly and wipe the valve seat; if the valve drips, clean sediment off the seat. During freezing weather, protect the water line or bring bowls indoors as farm practice requires. Fit the bracket at shoulder height of the smallest sheep in the group, so lambs can reach the valve too. Because the valve closes automatically, farms waste less water than with open troughs that need constant topping up.

Applications

This large bowl suits sheep sheds, goat houses and small ruminant farms where mature animals need a wider drinking space. The wider bowl fits groups where several sheep line up at the fence for a drink after feeding. It is also used on dairy goat farms where clean water access supports milk production. It also fits wool sheep operations, where clean water points reduce dust near the fleece. It also suits breeding stations where rams and ewes are kept in separate pens with matched water points.

Livestock equipment dealers stock it as the larger option in the sheep waterer range. Its copper valve and green body make it a reliable repeat-order item for sheep farming regions. The large bowl is often bought together with the standard sheep bowl for mixed-age sheds. When buyers mix the two sizes, they usually place large bowls in adult ewe pens and standard bowls in lamb rearing pens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference from the standard sheep bowl?

This large version is about 21 cm wide and 15 cm high, giving mature sheep and goats more drinking space per visit. Choose the large size when your flock is mostly mature animals. For sheds that mix adult sheep and lambs, use the large bowl at the main fence line and standard bowls in the creep area. The copper valve also has a long track record on sheep farms, which gives buyers confidence in repeat orders. The 2 cm inlet also matches our standard sheep water line fittings, which simplifies future upgrades. The green bowl also fits the same wall spacing as our standard sheep waterer range.

Q2: How does the valve open?

The animal presses the brass copper valve to release water; the valve closes automatically when it backs away.

Q3: What size is the water inlet?

The valve inlet is about 2 cm, a standard farm water-line connection. Adapters for your local pipe thread can be discussed when we prepare the order. The green bowl also fits in the same wall space as the standard sheep bowl, so retrofits keep the existing pipe layout.

Q4: How do I maintain the bowl?

Rinse weekly, wipe the valve seat, and clean off sediment if the valve starts dripping. The green bowl also tolerates regular washing without fading under normal shed lighting.
