100 gallons is roughly a day's water for eight to ten cattle in summer heat, which is the figure that decides tank size rather than herd count alone.
Behlen Country Galvanized Round Stock Tank, 100 Gallon
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 100 gallons is roughly a day's water for eight to ten cattle in summer heat, which is the figure that decides tank size rather than herd count alone. Galvanised steel outlasts poly in sun and against horns, and it is the wrong choice where the water is acidic or heavily mineralised -- there the zinc goes first. It freezes like any open tank, so in a cold climate a de-icer and the power to run it are part of the real cost.
Who should buy this
Cattle and horse watering where durability against sun and horns matters.
Who should avoid this
Acidic or heavily mineralised water supplies, where poly lasts longer.
Key strengths
- Galvanised steel resists sun damage and horn punctures
- Corrugated sidewall for rigidity when full
- Standard drain plug fitting
Limitations
- Zinc coating degrades in acidic or mineralised water
- Freezes without a de-icer in cold climates
- Heavy and awkward to reposition once sited

Happy with it, but go in informed
Galvanised steel resists sun damage and horn punctures. The one thing to know before ordering: Zinc coating degrades in acidic or mineralised water. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
Galvanised steel resists sun damage and horn punctures. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Corrugated sidewall for rigidity when full. No regrets after three months.

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Acidic or heavily mineralised water supplies, where poly lasts longer. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
