Cattle have nose for this freshwater pump

A Co Cork company says the “Protection of Watercourses from Bovines” action in GLAS is generating a lot of interest in their pasture pump.

The Aquamat Pasture pump allows cattle to be completely fenced away from streams, lakes and ponds, while allowing them access to fresh water at all times.

It is available from O’Donovan Engineering, of Coachford, Co. Cork, where sales director Dermot Donovan says it pumps water up to 70m (229 feet) length or a depth of 7 meters (23 feet).
