stock tanks

Farm animal watering

Stock tanks are large metal or plastic containers designed to hold water for livestock.

Originally circular galvanized steel tubs found on ranches and farms, they've gained popularity as affordable alternatives to traditional swimming pools or garden ponds: We set up a stock tank pool in the backyard.

They range from a few hundred to several thousand gallons.
