Watch how livestock press the paddle for fresh, frost-free water — no electricity, no standing water, no ice to chop.
Frozen Stock Tanks Are a Daily Problem in the Panhandle
Every Amarillo rancher and horse owner knows the winter routine. You walk out in the cold, find the stock tank frozen solid, and start chopping ice. Then the float valve breaks, or the tank heater quits overnight.
Heaters also need power, and a power outage during a cold snap leaves your animals without water. Standing water in summer brings its own trouble: algae, bugs, and dirt in the tank. A livestock waterer that never freezes and never sits stagnant fixes both problems.
What Is a Drinking Post?
Drinking Post is an automatic waterer for horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and other livestock. It works like a frost-free yard hydrant. The valve sits deep underground where the soil stays warm, so the part that could freeze never sees freezing air.
An animal presses the paddle and fresh water fills the bowl. When the animal lets go, the valve closes below ground and the water drains out of the post into a gravel bed. The bowl has no standing water, so there is nothing to freeze and nothing for algae to grow in.
Drinking Post vs. Stock Tanks and Standard Waterers
Drinking Post fills and drains with every use, so there is never any standing water to freeze or grow algae.
WATERER
Drinking Post is engineered to stay frost-free without power, while standard automatic waterers rely on heaters and hold standing water.

Drinking Post FAQ: Amarillo, TX
How does Drinking Post stay frost-free without electricity?
It uses the same design as a frost-free yard hydrant. The valve sits below the frost line, where the ground stays warm. When an animal stops drinking, the water in the post drains into the gravel bed below, so no water is left above ground to freeze.
Will my horses and cattle know how to use the paddle?
Yes. Animals nose the bowl, press the paddle, and see water appear. Most catch on within minutes or on their first day, and we share training tips with every installation.
Can Patrick Plumbing run water lines to my barn, paddock, or pasture?
Yes. We are licensed Texas plumbers (RMP #43307) and handle trenching, pipe sizing, pressure regulation, water line extensions, and shutoff valves for ranch and rural properties across the Panhandle.
What size Drinking Post do I need in Amarillo?
The right size is your local frost depth plus the height you want above ground. We usually recommend a 5-foot, 6-foot, or 8-foot post, depending on whether you keep horses, cattle, sheep, or goats. We inspect your site and tell you the exact height.
Do I need to clean a Drinking Post?
The post drains after every use, so water does not sit and grow algae.
Do you install Drinking Post outside Amarillo?
Yes. We serve Canyon, Bushland, Hereford, Pampa, Dumas, Borger, and the surrounding Panhandle.
