I'm curious if anyone knows a good high flow float valve to use to gravity fill a trough. I run a solar waterer and after the main trough (150ish gallons) I fill a tank (600gallons) and gravity feed a 2nd trough (200 gallons) for about 100 pairs. The problem I'm having is the cows all come to drink at once, rush the troughs and drain them, then destroy things fighting over the water pumping out of the well and gravity flowing out of the 600 gallon tank. this past summer I used a 1" Hudson valve which is the fastest gravity valve I've found to date but still not quick enough according to the cows.
