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.

Have had them for over 9 years. Love them! Wish I had installed in my pastures too! Great customer service. - 6/11/2019

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

I have had this for 2 winters now- with temperatures in the single digits. Never a problem. Best investment I’ve made and very easy to install. At the time I installed I only had one horse. It did take her a couple weeks to figure it out , but when I got the second horse, she figured it out in a day. Great, great waterer. - 4/16/2021

Love ours. They never freeze. - 11/15/2021

Although we are in the deep south and don't have to battle the sub-zero winters...DP Waterers are still life savers. These waterers have saved our lives in the summer when we have to pour out hundreds of gallons of water every day to keep our water fresh, cool and algae free. Also for those weeks during the winter when we struggle with icy watering troughs the DP Waterers are like little miracles in our pasture (since the only place we are used to ice is in our sweet tea!). Mike, thank you for this exceptional product...this waterer beats all others! - 11/10/2018

Absolutely love the Drinking Post Waterer. Great not having to worry if the cows have fresh or thawed water. Really looking forward to not having to water the cows this winter. They took to it within a day or two including our calf. - 12/16/2023

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

I live in Iowa and this has been the easiest winter yet for chores. Very responsive customer service as well. Highly recommend! - 1/16/2022

Sure beats filling, cleaning and heating water troughs. My cattle adapted quickly, as do any new additions to the herd. We’ve had our first drinking post about 8 years with minimal maintenance and have installed several more since. Highly recommended! - 4/16/2022

Evening water cooler meeting of the minds! 😆 Wonder what those pipes are for??? If you have horses you MUST invest in The Drinking Post. This is the most incredible and smartest horse investment I have EVER made. These posts are worth their weight in gold. And they pay for themselves! There is no electricity to them!! They are set 18” below the frost line which means water is the perfect temperature 365 days a year. I NEVER have to clean a trough again or bust ice in the winter. I have even noticed clearer ”pp” because they drink so much more. 😉 I have had them installed since January they went through winter without issue. Summer has been great too with all this nasty heat I knew their water was fresh, clean, and cool! The boys were shown how to push the paddle ONCE and took to it like a fish in water. No, I don’t work for them…just a happy happy customer!! My horse chores have been cut drastically. No hoses to drag (200ft), no filling and dumping, no scrubbing…NOTHING! All I have to do is give grain twice a day as their hay is in huts! It takes less than 10 min. Insane! 😍 They are truly incredible!! - 8/17/2022

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

Tonia Marshall

they are maintenance free and fresh water on demand, - 10/03/2018

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

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

We installed two Drinking Posts in the Fall of 2023. Winter was one of those "every 8 years it gets this cold" ones with below freezing temps. My neighbors had to haul water to their horses, but we DIDN'T!! LOVE these waterers and will be installing more in newly fenced pastures. Just put em in and forget em! Worth every penny! - 2/16/2024

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

I love my 3 drinking posts I bought. Living in Florida I needed something that would give them fresh, cold, clean water without the mosquito problem. I bought the portable one since I don't need to bury it in the florida sand. - 8/16/2021

This is the only waterer we will ever have again, period!! Worth it's weight in gold!! - 3/01/2019

Water is always available for livestock, regardless of freezing or high temperatures. Animals quickly learn operation and when new cows are added, the other cows teach the new ones. AND, no troughs to manage or scrub!! - 7/12/2021

Alicia T.

I have to say I had my doubts when looking for a waterer that would not freeze but needed no electricity. After purchasing ours and having it a little over a year now, I would never use anything else. Highly recommend drinking post waterers! Not only is the product extremely durable, it truly never freezes! All the questions I’ve had were only a simple phone call away, never had to wait on a hold line just to be transferred to another country, they pick up answer all questions and have even sent out parts that I didn’t know I needed! The best there is! - 9/16/2023

We installed a Drinking Post in November 2017 and have gone through two of the most brutal February’s we can remember in Montana. The only problem we had was when it was -32 temperature and -59 wind chill. The paddle froze open and that was my fault as I had it screwed down too tight. The DP is easy to install, uses no power and ours works awesome. I have had a couple issues with a horse that didn’t want to learn how to drink and Brad answered almost immediately with a solution. All of our other horses caught on to the DP in a day or two. We have used other automatic waterers and the DP is hands down better! We love our DP! - 3/10/2019

Best service possible. Have 5 waterers. - 4/16/2021

Once installed, through the water filter, this has been the easiest thing ever. It took the horses a little while to figure out but now they all love it. Only buckets I clean is in their stalls. They rarely drink out of that and I think its because its not clean enough. LOL! I just go by occasionally and make sure it is clean (grass, rock, leaves, bird poop). Now I'm wanting one for my goats. - 7/16/2023
Delroy B.

The watering post has been the best thing that I have done for my 3 horses, not to mention no more filling and cleaning water tubs! Amazing! - 4/16/2023

Matt H.

We installed 2 of the drinking posts and 1 of the Classic Equine waterers. Our horses prefer the drinking post. Water is colder for them. Make sure you put a hard surface around though, the horse can make a mess. - 4/16/2023

Our horses love them. Always fresh water. One of the best things added. - 4/16/2021

Easy install, works flawlessly so far, will see about freezing next Montana winter - 4/16/2021

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

We installed our drinking post this summer for our two warmbloods and 1 mule. I actually have looked forward to the electric bill each month to see the cost savings that the drinking post has given us. So far this winter our electric bill is averaging 300 kWh less then the same month last year when we were using a water tank heater. That is $30 of savings a month just from 1 tank heater! At this rate the drinking post will pay for itself in 2.5 winters. It has been worth every penny! My animals love drinking out of it, getting a fresh consistent temperature water each time. - 2/19/2020
