Still, we work closely with many electricians. We are happy to schedule and bring in a licensed electrical contractor to get your new livestock water trough hooked up correctly and to code.  From horse watering troughs to hog watering systems and even cattle watering troughs, Drake Mechanical can handle it all for you and help keep your animals and livestock watered year-round.

Why Ritchie Livestock Waterers VS. The Other Brands?

• Ritchie Watering Troughs are designed with the most reliable valves in the industry to provide as much water as your animals need yet at the same time limit the amount of water that sits in the trough; this helps prevent algae growth and water waste.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs has the best warranty in the industry.  Ritchie's warranty is a 5-year full replacement with an additional 5-year limited warranty.  The Stainless Steel models have a 10-year 100% replacement warranty.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs are completely sealed on the inside.  The polyis filled with foam insulation then spin welded closed to prevent moisture from getting into the insulation and breaking it down.  This means a long-lasting product for you.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs that contain any metal are made out of 304 Stainless Steel to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs are built with your animal's safety in mind.  All corners and edges are hemmed or have smooth curved surfaces to prevent scrapes and cuts, keeping your livestock safe.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs are designed for limited maintenance.  They use a water seal rather than gaskets that freeze, crack, and tear.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs all meet the grade-A dairy recommendations.
