- Stock tank valve modification that will keep your water flowing in your stock tank. Install a needle valve to your brass valve. That will give you the flexibility to let the water drip when the temperature drops below freezing.

All your videos are great the way you show off the grazing machinery you use.
Thank You
Really appreciate this very detailed video. Thanks again.
Another informative video. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Your channel is the really technical and useful. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
You're very welcome!
Russ is a great teacher.
Thanks Dale!
Hey Russ,
You said in the description that you were speaking March 23 at the grazing conference. The brochure says the conference is March 11,12. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.👍
Your videos are really a nice and interesting and always informative.
I’m from East Palestine, Ohio which is 30 miles south of Youngstown.
Hey Barry
Thank You The Western PA 23rd Annual Spring Grazing Conference is March 11-12. Fixed it in the comments.
Thanks for watching!!! Russ
You can get the valve w/ pee valve already installed . To each his own
Great question! I make and sell the valves.
You can get one here. In the shop tab. www.russwilson.net
Thanks for watching!!
Russ, another clever fix for one of those irritating problems. How many of your cows are carrying calves from the last video? I see that you will be speaking at the grazing conference in Clarion, I am looking forward to it.

I will post be posting a video on interpreting pregnancy tests. 93% of the cow herd is pregnant. Targeted goal is 85% I go into details why 85%.
I will be in clarion speaking. It's going to be great event. I will put a link in the description to sign up online.
Thanks For Watching!
Will this work on gravity flow
Why does this make it frost free? Great video but not sure what it does .
You are able to leave the needle valve on or run. Water coming out of the ground is 55 degrees. So the valve uses the geothermal heat make the tank freeze proof.
What brand of valve is that? Does it work good with dirty pond water?
Hey Kevin The valve is a Mueller Valve. There's a link in the description to buy one. It's a high flow valve and very simple. It should work with pond water.
What temperatures are you using this in? We get down to -35F in the winter and colder when you add wind chill.
I have a friend in canada using the valve.
No offense, but this is so much more work than necessary. All you have to do is drill a small hole in the side of the tank (which is free and takes 10 seconds) or put a small valve in the side of the tank. Accomplishes the same thing without having to take apart and damage a you’re valve.
I guess that everyone isn’t as smart as you. There are 1001 ways of doing something. I’ll do me and you do you. Please do a video on your setup!
