New pasture pump - any advice

Not sure if much encouraging is required - their inquisitive nature will lead them to figure it out pretty quickly - as long as they are unable to access the stream themselves.

I think you are meant to install it about 12" off the ground. Put it close to fence so that cattle cannot tramp on the pipe.

I wet the area around the pasture pump by purging through a gallon or two.

Once one animal starts to drink the rest will follow.

Hi I have a well in one field I have a few 2ft pipes and its roughly 12-15ft deep I don't think the water is over high in this well but I will dip it this weekend would this work well with a pasture pump? Also what is the max distance the pump can be away as I could get a few pumps and feed a few fields from the one pump perhaps

if your feeding a few fields get a solar pump. im putting in an electric pump myself ths year

I use something like this in 2 different locations. 1 is pumping from a river the other from a well. No idea how far you could pump, but claimed 50m Head height (although that seller says 30m is practical). I pump to an IBC placed at a height above the drinkers and let gravity feed the them. The IBC also provides a buffer for the dark wet days where pump may be slower to fill. I also use a float switches in the IBCs to control the pumps and 100Ah batteries which power the electric fences too.

Edit: I should probably also point out that I have only had 20 cows with calves max rotating around either of these farm blocks. More cattle may need a beefier system (or just multiple panels/pumps)
