Plastic Tank Portable Cattle Waterer LIVESTOCK Beef 18-2-34 I used an old 30-gal. plastic tank to make an inexpensive, portable cattle waterer. I got the tank from my brother who has a dairy operation. The tank originally contained iodine teat dip. It's made from heavy nylon plastic and is virtually indestructible. I rinsed out the tank, then cut an opening in the top and installed a float on one end, out of the reach of cattle, and cut a hole in the top of the tank to insert a garden hose.
