Stock Tanks

A stock tank is one of those farm basics that ends up wearing many hats. Most people start with livestock hydration, but a livestock tank can also pull double duty for storage, hauling supplies around the property, or a quick, durable setup for bath time. At Blain's, you’ll find a range of stock tanks in different shapes and materials, including poly stock tanks and galvanized stock tanks, plus a few livestock waterer options.

Choosing the Right Stock Water Tank

If you need a stock water tank for livestock, consider the number of animals that need drinking water for and how often you want to refill. Shape matters too: oval tanks are a common all-around choice, while square and triangle tanks can fit better in tight corners or specific setups.

Material is the next decision. Poly tanks are lightweight and easy to move, while galvanized stock tanks are a classic pick for durability. If you’re comparing options, the right choice is always the one that fits your space and routine around the farm.

Stock Tanks Aren’t Just for Hydration

Depending on what you’re managing, a tank can act as a general-purpose tub for supplies, a temporary storage bin, or a utility container when you need something tough and easy to clean. If you’re building out a watering station, it can also help to set up your tank with related items nearby, like farm and/or ranch supplies.

Behlen Stock Tanks and Other Brands

If you’re shopping by brand, you’ll find popular Behlen stock tanks along with other options like Agrimaster and Little Giant. Brand can be a helpful starting point, but it’s still worth checking the tank shape, material, and size range so it matches your setup.

A good stock tank makes the everyday stuff easier. It keeps water available for livestock, cuts down on constant refills when you choose the right size, and holds up to regular use without needing much attention. And with multi-use applications, it tends to earn its spot on the property pretty quickly.
