Excellent watering system. I thought at first it was upside down, but I see your logic in it now! Great job and something we can all use!! Blessings from NE Missouri!
Hi thanks for the content I appreciate it I wanted to ask in order to prevent mosquitoes in their water is it possible to let an adult goat drink from the barrel with a pacifier?
Appreciate you showing how it's done but it does not really help if I don't know what the supplies are called and or where to get them so feeling kind of lost
I like the design and I will build one for my garden with a drip hose. Just two questions. How are you going to clean the container? Will you add nutrients to their water to help with growth? Good videos by the way.
+Rah Min I would not add anything to their water unless I was doing worming meds or something. I can clean it once per year with a cup of bleach and letting it sit
I thought about that, it could be an issue but right now I leave the cap loose so hopefully that will let it breath. I will check it again today and see if it is vacuumed.
I built one of these, exactly as you showed, and I cannot get water to come through the nipple unless there’s a lot of suction, do these nipples not need pressure? How did you get yours to work? What am I doing wrong? I recall having these in the pig barns when we were young, and needing pressure in order for water to come out of them
I got a stupid question, would it be better to have the water nipple plunger on the bottom so they can push it up with their tongues rather than having to bite down on it with their top teeth. Just asking cause I am new at this and was wondering if there was a reason for having it that way. Great video
+newfarmer71 Homestead once they figure it out they use their lips to suck on it and the bottom spout directs the water on top of their tongue into their mouth that way
Great idea! You may have said this a video already, but what are your plans for George and Martha? Are you going to sell them or keep them for meat? Or just pets?
If you use it for goats, do not they break it by pushing it? The connection between the tube and the reservoir will be broken because it is PVC. Do you have another solution to this problem that is firmer? By the way good video!
+Beau Vanoverschelde the connections are all galvanized pipe for the drinking part of it. They could stand on it and it probably would not break but you could also extend it with some tubing into the pen and run a circulation pump so it won't freeze. Check out my other automatic barn system to see what I mean

Very nice design. Thinking this will work perfect for our goats and or pigs. Thanks for posting this one.
Great idea and execution.
What about cleaning? Have you had any issues? Looks like the best system I have seen so far.

They're getting so big!
GREAT IDEA! How does it hold up now after 3 years? Thanks
Is it possible to list the supplies needed

Looks great! Maybe drill a vent hole too? You might be getting enough through the 2" cap though.

I had to drill a vent in mine.
+Daybird Aviaries good to know, I just went and checked it and it looks like I will need a vent in mine also. Will just drill it in the cap
Me.. spends 2 days gathering materials to build a pig water
Watches this.... face palm hard af

Did you figure this out?
You might need a vent hole to allow air in/break the vacuum

I'm kind of curious why you don't water the animals in the pasture? Never mind I see it now!
Could you please provide an update on your design?
just wait for the pigs to learn to hold it down to create the wallow, that's what mine did, drained the 500 gallon ibc in a day.
I use a similar system for my large parrots.
Great video love the music. Thanks
Looks great maybe can paint it black for winter and sun will keep it from freezing some.
+David Crowson I thought about that, might work at least for November and December weather
Great idea! You may have said this a video already, but what are your plans for George and Martha? Are you going to sell them or keep them for meat? Or just pets?
+Justin Lichtle they will be the parents of hopefully many future generations of meat pigs. We may also sell the piglets as registered stock
If I ever get a pig I'm going to build this.

Do you have the dimensions for the cuts of wood?
put ears and tail and its a pig water lol
a goat waterer.so damn cool
Love it looks like it will do a great job :) Thanks for sharing :)
"George & Martha" lol
You need to remove the screen and drill small holes through the plastic piece there is not enough water running through there
Are the goats using it?
No, just the pigs
@@SSLFamilyDad Thx, I have one and thought about trying it with the goats.
