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.

I had to starve my cows to it for two days and they used it as long as they couldn't get to a pond then they won't use it - 10/20/2024

Simple to install. Clean COOL water immediately available even in 100 degree temperatures. Great customer service ! - 7/18/2019

Drinking posts rock! I live in northern Michigan...in sand...with big draft horses who try to knock them around. No issues. Negative twenty or so below zero, no problem. I own two of them going on 4 years. No problems. - 5/09/2020

We installed 3 DPW's in Northern Idaho last April. So far, we love them! So happy that we chose this brand/company for our watering needs. - 4/19/2023

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

These drinking posts work great! No messy tanks to clean, always fresh water and easy to maintain, getting through winter watering livestock is a breeze and not a freeze! Not to mention no electric bill so, they are worth every penny! Have used them for years when they first came out and never a regret! Their customer service is awesome and they stand behind their product! - 2/16/2024

We installed DP two years ago in both our barn and pasture. Couldn't be more happy. We had a terrible long winter in the PNW and midst the ice and snow the DP's never failed. Such a gift not to have to plug in water heaters and deal with breaking ice. We bring in new horses for training and it has been amazing to me how quickly they learn to drink from the DP. Thrilled with our product and the help and service we have received. - 5/16/2019

This thing is amazing. This is the second winter with it. I am going to do the winterizing this year. It got a bit frozen at the top last year in a heavy deep freezing (-15)snow. Warm water and a little cleaning did the trick. No problems with training pony and two horses share it between 2 pastures. Best thing ever. - 11/26/2024

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

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

Randy M.

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

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

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

I was skeptical that my mini’s would be able to use the watering post but after dealing with hot Florida summers, mold and hoses I really wanted to give it a try. In the beginning the ponies couldn’t figure out the paddle. I contacted Drinking Post and they sent out a much larger paddle (looks like a brick) and they took to it right away. I am happy to report that even my 6 week old colt has mastered the watering post. - 6/10/2020

I have had mine installed for a few months now and it works great! - 1/16/2021

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

David S.

I bought one based on the recommendation of my son, who lives in Minneapolis. It was easy to install, and after the horses learned how it works, has been fantastic. I haven't cleaned a horse tank or used a de-icer since I put it in. And, there is no electricity involved. I love it!! - 4/16/2021
Judy V.

I was worried about freezing up in the open paddock with temps negative 20 degrees F in the winter. Nope! Care FREE all winter long!! Hallelujah!! - 9/19/2021

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

We have used these for 15+ years and can’t say enough about them. Talk about maintenance free. This is it. - 1/18/2019
Nicole M.

These are life changing! Say goodbye to scrubbing algae, filling troughs, frozen hoses, breaking ice, and worrying that your horse isn't drinking enough because the water got hot in the sun. We own a small farm/boarding facility and had 16 of these waterers installed and I couldn't be happier. They're practically maintenance-free and always work - even in the dead of winter. Not only do our horses love them (all but one learned how to use them in under 3 days…the dum-dum took a full 7 days), but they are also great for the goats. We're even contemplating modifying one so it sits just a few inches off the ground so the pigs can use them too! The Drinking Post Waterers are something that I now couldn't imagine being without. -Nicole Marts, Virginia - 5/22/2019

I wish I would have done this sooner. No winter electric bill spike to keep the water from freezing. Fresh water all the time and easy to install!! - 4/16/2022

Katie Pfettscher

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

This is my second review I’m leaving based on the unbeatable customer service. I needed a part on a day they were closed. Not only did they call back, not only did they meet me on a day they closed but I received the part for FREE!!! I’m blown away by this company AND their product. I’ve had it for 2.5 years and it works sooooo good. Never freezes in the winter and I have mine out in the elements. Quality Customer service is hard to come by these days... not with this place. THANK YOU - 8/22/2020

I think it's been about 6 or 7 years with a DPW and going strong. Northern Illinois winter is no problem. Why anyone is still using heated waterers is a mystery to me. The DPW pays for itself in the savings compared to the energy use of a heated waterer, not to mention how little maintenance it needs. - 4/16/2022

Timothy A.

Purchased one last year and love it. Never froze up last winter and my horses always have fresh,clean and cool water all summer long. - 11/16/2023
Dean C.

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

Sandra D.

Best thing ever for my two horses. Less work and extremely easy. Would suggest it to anyone !!!! - 11/18/2024

Kimberly Anne

Honestly the most efficient and reliable waterer I’ve ever used. Worry free and low maintenance! Customer service is excellent and I recommend to everyone with livestock if any sort. We’ve had ours for 4 years and have had zero issues with it! Love love the product! - 10/03/2018
