Ritchie Introduces Its Longest Waterer for Large Cattle Herds
Ritchie unveils the longest and largest waterer in company history: the WaterMaster 1400. Ritchie understands that water is vital for every system in an animal’s body, from digestion to nutrient transport — no matter the herd size, which is why the WaterMaster 1400 was built to keep the largest herds hydrated.
At 14-feet (4.26-meters) long and holding 110 gallons (416 liters), it provides fresh, clean water for up to 500 beef cattle or 250 dairy cows. Plus, its rapid-refill high-pressure valve keeps the WaterMaster 1400 trough filled so cattle stay hydrated all day, every day, which is essential for performance.
“Producers told us they needed a heavy-duty waterer for bigger herds, so we listened,” says Ritchie CEO Robert Amundson. “The WaterMaster 1400 not only meets Grade A dairy recommendations, but also delivers the energy savings, easy maintenance and durability our customers expect.”
VacHolster Launches Durable, Hands-Free Vaccine Gun Holster
Just in time for fall processing, VacHolster has introduced a rugged, hands-free vaccine gun holster designed to help ranchers work faster, safer, and more efficiently. Built to withstand harsh ranch conditions, the VacHolster keeps vaccine guns secure, clean, and within easy reach, reducing stress, preventing contamination, and improving animal handling safety.
“Ranchers are tired of searching for where they last set down their syringe or trying to figure out where they CAN set down their syringe to free their hands for other jobs.” says Seth Davis, founder of VacHolster. “We built the VacHolster to solve that problem. It’s a tool that keeps your vaccine gun exactly where your hand expects it to be and as a bonus, it helps protect the potency of your vaccine, reduces needle stick risks, and improves cattle handling speeds by up to 20%.”
Designed with heavy-duty materials and a ranch-proof build, the VacHolster custom fits your vaccine gun and you. By eliminating the need to set syringes down between uses, ranchers can speed up vaccination while keeping vaccines protected from sunlight, dirt, and damage.
