The Ultimate Drinking Post for Sheep and Goats

The Drinking Post is the most reliable automatic waterer for sheep and goats. It will eliminate all your watering chores – no more chopping ice, scrubbing algae, filling tanks, or dragging hoses! The bowl fills and drains with each use, which provides your animals with fresh, clean water every time they take a drink. It doesn’t require any electricity and it can stay frost-free in temps as low as -50 F/-45.5 C! It’s so sturdy and durable that we’ve backed every Ultimate Drinking Post with a 5 Year Warranty!

The Livestock Paddle Attachment: The Drinking Post for Sheep/Goats features a weighted riser block that attaches to the standard flat paddle. To activate the water, they will butt the riser block forward with their head. This “butting” motion is a natural action for sheep and goats, so it’s more comfortable to use and easier to learn! The Livestock Paddle Attachment will come included with your Drinking Post for Sheep/Goats.

The Ultimate Drinking Post: The “Ultimate” model is a complete redesign of our original Drinking Post (the Legacy model). To see all the updates we made, check out the Ultimate vs. Legacy Comparison Chart.

SO happy with the Drinking Post Waterers. We've had ours for three years now and couldn't be more pleased. Love that they don't require electricity and work even in the harsh mountain winters! - 5/09/2020

Our drinking post has worked well in the -30 degree range here in upstate NY. We were’nt sure how it would hold up to the low temps and abundance of snow but so far no problems. - 2/04/2019

Has worked wonderfully for 2 years now! My horse loves it. Just lube the paddle once in a while. Cheers - 8/10/2021

Drinking post is just as they claim. My horses have always used a trough. Anyone that has used or uses a trough knows that in the winter you always have to make sure the heater is working and in the summer always keeping it clean from insects. My horses learned quickly to use the post and seem to be drinking more often. I would recommend this to anyone that is just thinking about getting one and on the fence about it. It might be a little more work than a trough to get started but it is well worth the effort for you and your livestock. - 4/16/2021

Works Great! 2 years no trouble, horses learned to use it in a day . The lot stays dry . Fresh water all the time . - 4/16/2022

I've had 4 drinkers for my horses for several years now. This year's heat and drought have been TRYING! But I don't waste any water. The units always deliver clean, fresh, and cool water. I don't need to be cleaning green slime out of units every 2 days. In the heat of the day the horses are not standing at a tank splashing out valuable water that is no longer cool. Even when I move horses to a different location, they have no problem finding the drinkers. These are quality units! They are simple to repair when needed! They are priced fairly! It's a win win for us. - 4/16/2022

I am so satisfied that I now have 5. It is so great to have clean, fresh water year round. We have 25 quarters horses of all sizes and operate the waterers easily. Any time I need parts they are always available. Best thing about the units is they are simple and easy to work on if repair is needed. Our first unit was installed on 2014. Doug D.

We currently have 8 drinking post automatic waterers for our horses. We have one in each of 3 paddocks and 1 in each of our 5 stalls. Installing the drinking post automatic waterers was the best decision we made when building our barn and paddocks 4 years ago. A special shout out to Brad at drinking post who's customer service is above 5 stars - he is always there to help with any questions and goes above and beyond the call of duty to help with questions, etc. I highly recommend drinking post waterers to everyone I know. They are maintenance free except for the occassional cleaning of grass that horses sometimes leave when they take a drink. I love these waterers!!! - 11/17/2020

Maxine D.

I should have installed these waterers years ago. If you are looking for one thing that will make your horse owning life easier, my advice would be to get drinking post waterers installed. - 4/16/2021

We've had 3 drinking posts installed at our Colorado ranch since 2017 and love the way they operate! No heaters, no electricity required and the water comes out clean and cool throughout the year, summer and winter. We have small ponies to large drafts and all have typically learned how to use it within a day or two. Recently in one pasture, one horse got a little "mouthy" with the paddle and eventually ripped it out of the bowl (original design). The owner personally delivered a newly designed bowl and paddle configuration which is much more robust (see comparison on their website) and we've been trouble-free now for several months. Great design and great customer service! - 4/16/2022

Love our drinking post, so easy even my 3 month old pony filly uses it! - 8/24/2020

Drinking post is a great invention! I had problems with pigeon's using my horses water troth for their everyday use, it was getting gross. I had to clean it everyday. I now have 2 drinking posts and my horses use them with no problem. I don't have to clean up after pigeon's either! Great buy. Easy to install too. - 4/16/2021

The drinking post has made our life so much easier!!! No more carrying buckets or wrestling hoses ! We highly recommend buying this product. We trained our horses in 2 days exactly like the video says . It works!!!! It did take a few weeks to train the donkeys, but donkeys are stubborn that’s not a secret lol they love the waterer and actually use it for entertainment. Also customer service is amazing . All questions answered right away !! Very helpful and responsive. Thank you drinking posts for everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Drinking Post Waterer works great for us in Colorado. The customer service responded immediately when we had a small issue. I would recommend them for the high quality waterer and great customer service. - 4/16/2022

Best purchase I have ever made for our horses and ourselves. Fresh cold water. No stagnate water ever. It has never once failed us through several harsh Michigan winters. Horses were pros after a day! - 4/16/2021

Year 3 using the Drinking Post, they have been trouble free and a huge $$ saver, no heating costs in the winter👍👍 - 5/30/2020

Effective, worry free, easy to maintain. We have owned our drinking post for almost a year now and it works exactly as expected. I needed to unclog the inlet filter today because of sediment from our well. I followed the instructions on the website and it only took about 20 minutes. Very pleased. - 4/16/2023

Could not be happier with my drinking post! So much time and money saved this winter with the drinking post waterer! - 1/31/2019

I'm not sure how I could love my Drinking Post waterers more!! We installed them about 2 years ago so they've gone through 2 winters and summers and I think they paid for themselves the first week after installing them! The horses all learned quickly. OK, we have one mare (she's a bit wonky in the head in many ways...) who was a bit of a s l o w learner, but we helped her along and she was using them within three days. Everyone else (15+ horses) had NO trouble whatsoever. The test for me was my big draft cross because he destroys everything and he's been unable to figure out a way to completely destroy them either! They've been put to the test in sub-arctic long stretches and we've never ever had any issues with freezing. And, NO HEATERS!! That alone saves us so much money and time!! We will be putting a new structure up and we will be planning from the start where we want our new DP waterers!! I will NEVER have horses without these!! Oh, and I forgot to mention, there's no algae to deal with in tanks in the summer either! NO, I am NOT paid by them, I just love them that much!! When you're as old as I am and you've had to haul your share of water and break ice as much as I have, to find a solution that seems magical is the best feeling. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. OOOH - and their customer service if you do have a problem??? UNBELIEVABLE! My draft X that destroys literally everything found a way not to break the waterer, but the outside sheath. I called to order a replacement part and he asked for the measurements and sent one to me free of charge. LOVE the product and LOVE the company!! - 4/16/2023

Very good! I have six horses. They actually line up take turns getting a drink. - 4/08/2021

Best waterer I've ever had! Super easy to install and my horses love it. I'll never use anything else. - 4/16/2023

I’ve had my drinking post watered in Northern Illinois for 3+ years, two horses, and it’s been a champion! I often say it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. What’s not to love? Easy, safe, healthy for the horses, time and money savings. Had to do some minor maintenance on it this year, replaced the bowl since the holder for a screw did eventually wear down. The maintenance videos are all well done, but I still called for some help and got the best customer service you can imagine. It’s deceptively simple but don’t underestimate it! - 12/07/2018

It's reliable....when the winter winds are blowing you know your animals have fresh water, when it's a hot summer day they have cool fresh water!! Love it!!! - 5/08/2020

We have had drinking posts in our pastures for over 20 years. The horses take to them quickly and I love that they always get fresh water. - 4/16/2021
