Bar 7 Ranch

We Turned the Water On... and Held Our Breath

This was the day we'd been waiting on. After weeks of building, plumbing, measuring, and second guessing ourselves, it was finally time to turn the water on and find out if our new feedlot water system actually worked. Would it leak? Would the automatic water troughs work? Would everything hold pressure? Thankfully... things went better than expected. We're getting closer every day to moving cattle into our new mini feedlot, and this project is finally starting to come together. 👇 Let us know... Have you ever installed automatic livestock waterers? We'd love to hear your experience! If you're new here, we're first-generation ranchers in Central Texas documenting the real journey of building Bar 7 Ranch. 👍 Like 💬 Comment 🔔 Subscribe Need Texas-raised beef? 🌐 https://www.bar7ranch.com Chapters 00:00 Turning the water on... 00:48 Will it leak? 06:16 Checking every connection 12:48 Plumbing the troughs 15:12 Installing the final water trough 22:40 Uh oh... 31:02 The first real test 33:48 Success! 38:03 Why we chose these water troughs 43:00 What's left before cattle move in 45:35 Texas sunset Subscribe to Bar 7 Ranch: https://bit.ly/3Xjjcv1 📩 Business Inquiries: [email protected] ✨ Watch Our Latest Videos Here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QiSJMboeixoD_YeQkn6R3U&playnext=1&index=2 🙏 Faith & Family Sermons & Devotionals: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFxo_GG5mToxi1A6SBvbXw 🌾 Follow Bar 7 Ranch Daily Life: Facebook → https://facebook.com/bar7ranch Instagram → https://instagram.com/bar7ranch/ TikTok → https://tiktok.com/@bar7ranch X (Twitter) → https://twitter.com/bar7ranch Website → https://bar7ranch.com/ 🛒 Shop & Support the Ranch: 🔹 Amazon Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/codyanderikaarchie 🔹 Official Bar 7 Ranch Merch: https://www.bar7ranch.com/category/all-products 🔹 Personalized Cameo Shoutouts: https://v.cameo.com/H6Ej9WIV5Ab 📺 Watch More Bar 7 Ranch: 🚜 Ranching & Farming: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0RXocN3qCT99xUAli70mp0L 🔧 How-To & Fix-It Projects: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QTmJXfgFnKWuX3-p5Wexkw 📹 Family Vlogs & Adventures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QJkKrP0Orm0kZeoPduNdFz 🔥 Most Popular Videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0TjSjSjyBX5tjx4_18adL4y&playnext=1&index=2 🤠 About Bar 7 Ranch: Welcome to Bar 7 Ranch — where ranch life, family, and entrepreneurship collide.
