Since 1921, when Thomas Ritchie patented the first automatic waterer device, Ritchie Industries has manufactured a complete line of livestock automatic waterers to the highest specifications in the industry. From a single horse Stall Fount to fountains that accommodate 500 cattle, Ritchie fountains have set the standard in quality. So when you buy a Ritchie fountain, you know you’re getting the most dependable product on the market… not to mention the best value, service and warranty in the business. Ritchie Industries is located in a small town in central Iowa but our waterers are recognized worldwide. Through the help of our outstanding distributor and dealer network, we are able to provide excellent customer service for our waterers that last for many years.
