Watering Valve Assemblies
Robert Float Valve
The Robert Float Valve is made by Robert Manufacturing Co. It features a unique stem and swivel arrangement float assembly that prevents damage from livestock nuzzling. The assemblies consist of a valve, stem, swivel and float ball. They are a high volume valve and are available in 3/4" and 1" sizes. The 3/4" valve puts out 21 gallons per minute at 35 PSI. The 1" valve puts out 43 gallons per minute at 35 PSI. These valves also carry a 5 year warranty.
Hudson Valve
The Hudson Watering Valve can be used when using a hydrant to fill your tank. The unique patented design of the Hudson valve uses fluid pressure, as opposed to a lever arm and ball, as the force to close the valve. The valve body is made of durable glass-filled nylon 6/6. Internal parts are of ABS plastic, silicone, and stainless steel. This valve also has a bracket that allows for quick, easy mounting at the end of a standard 3/4" water hose. The Hudson Valve is guaranteed for two years when used under normal operating conditions.

Cement Pads:
Over time livestock tend to drag the back fill away from water tanks. This not only makes it hard for cows and calves to reach the water, it also creates a mud hole around the tank. Place these pads around your tank and you will never have to back fill dirt or gravel again. Quick, easy and much cheaper than pouring a concrete pad. They measure 4' by 10' and weigh approximately 1400#.
Improve calf access to water:
In order to make the tank accessible to calves. Cut a railroad tie in half and to nail it together. The calves will then be able to step onto it to reach over the tank. The cows will stay off the tie, making room for the calves.
