Where we work
Seven counties across south central Missouri
Underground water lines and livestock watering systems, installed within a day's reach of Cabool.
- Based in Cabool, MO
- Counties 7 across south central Missouri
- Furthest north Salem, Dent County
- Furthest south Thayer, Oregon County
We run out of Cabool and work a radius that reaches Salem to the north, Van Buren to the east, Thayer to the south and Mountain Grove to the west. That is a large area for one crew, and it is deliberate. The equipment is specialised and there are not many outfits in this part of the state pulling line with a vibratory plow, so we would rather travel than turn work down.
- 01
Texas County
Cabool, Houston, Licking, Summersville, Success and Roby
Our home county. The shop is on Kile Road outside Cabool, so work anywhere in Texas County is a short haul and can usually be scheduled quickly.
- 02
Howell County
West Plains, Willow Springs, Mountain View, Pomona and Caulfield
The largest population in the region and a heavy concentration of cattle ground south and west of West Plains.
- 03
Wright County
Mountain Grove and the ground east of it
The western edge of our range runs along Highways 60 and 38.
- 04
Dent County
Salem and the surrounding country
The northern edge of our range, north of Licking along Highway 63 and 32.
- 05
Shannon County
Eminence, Winona and Birch Tree
Rough, timbered ground where the distance between a water source and where cattle actually graze is often the whole problem.
- 06
Carter County
Van Buren and the ground west of it
The eastern edge of our range, along Highway 60.
- 07
Oregon County
Alton, Thayer and Couch
The southern edge of our range, down to the Arkansas line.
If you are outside this list
Give us a call anyway. The boundary above is where we work regularly, not a fence. Larger jobs justify a longer haul, and if the run is large enough, we will come look at your project.
Each of these counties has its own Soil and Water Conservation District, and a good share of the work we do is paid for in part through a cost share contract. Your district office and your local USDA Service Center can tell you what is offered in your county, and we will quote the installation to match whatever plan you settle on.
One thing worth knowing before you call. University of Missouri Extension advises that cattle should not have to walk more than 700 to 900 feet to water, and on most of the places we look at, the fix is not one long line to one tank. It is a shorter run and a second tank in the right spot. Knowing roughly how far your herd currently walks tells us more about the job than the acreage does.
Tell us where the job is
Give us the county, the acreage, and roughly how far the water has to travel. We will come back with a plan and a price.
