Indoor vs. Outdoor: Determine whether the cattle drinker will be placed in sheds or open pastures. Cattle drinkers for sheds may have different requirements compared to those used outdoors. Terrui's Single Hole Cow Water Trough and Cow Water Drinking Bowl are both suitable for shed use.


Climate: In colder climates, choose Terrui's heated cattle water trough (3.3m/9.9ft.) to prevent water from freezing. For warmer climates, ensure the cattle water drinker can keep the water cool and fresh.

Why Choose Blue Cattle Waterers? The Color Advantage Explained

Terrui provides blue cattle waterers. This is not just a matter of aesthetics; the color blue offers several practical advantages that make blue cattle waterers a preferred option for many farmers.

Visibility and Safety

  • High Visibility: The color blue is highly visible against various backgrounds, whether in a pasture, barn, or shed. This makes it easier for both the animals and the farmers to locate the waterers quickly.


  • Safety: High visibility reduces the risk of animals accidentally bumping into or knocking over the waterers, which can lead to water spillage and potential injuries.


Temperature Regulation


  • Heat Absorption: Darker colors tend to absorb more heat, which can cause the water to become warm, especially in hot climates. Blue, being a lighter color, absorbs less heat compared to darker colors like black. This helps in keeping the water cooler for a longer period, ensuring that the cattle have access to refreshing water.


  • UV Resistance: Terrui blue cattle waterers are made from UV-resistant materials. The blue color helps in reflecting some of the UV rays, reducing the degradation of the material and extending the lifespan of the waterer.


Cleanliness and Maintenance


  • Dirt Visibility: Blue livestock drinker make it easier to spot dirt, algae, and other contaminants. This visibility encourages regular cleaning and maintenance, ensuring that the water remains clean and safe for the cattle.


  • Stain Resistance: Blue cattle waterers are less likely to show stains compared to lighter colors like white. This helps in maintaining a cleaner appearance over time.


Can Cattle Drinkers Be Used for Other Livestock?

Yes, cattle drinkers are versatile and can be efficiently used for a wide range of livestock beyond cattle, including horses, sheep, goats, and even poultry in some cases. The key to successful application across different species lies in selecting the appropriate design and size to accommodate the specific drinking behaviors and physical characteristics of the animals. For instance, sheep and goats may require drinkers with lower access points, while horses benefit from larger, more robust units. By ensuring the drinker meets the needs of the specific livestock, farmers can enhance hydration, health, and overall well-being of their animals, regardless of the species.
