An improved livestock watering system is provided which is adapted to selectively circulate water between a reservoir and a drinking basin in response to the temperature of the water in the drinking basin so as to prevent water in the drinking basin from freezing during low temperature conditions, and to cool the water in the drinking basin during high temperature conditions. The livestock watering system comprises a housing, a drinking basin supported by the housing, a reservoir disposed within the ground so as to be positioned below the frostline of the ground, and a water circulation assembly for selectively circulating water between the reservoir and the drinking basin. A flow control valve, disposed in a lower portion of the drinking basin, is connected to a pressurized water source such that a substantially constant level of water is maintained in the drinking basin. A temperature sensing assembly adapted to sense the temperature of the water in the drinking basin is operably connected to the water circulation assembly such that the water circulation system can be selectively activated between an on mode and an off mode in response to the temperature of the water in the drinking basin.

An improved livestock watering system comprising: a housing having an upper end portion, a lower end portion and a continuous sidewall; a drinking basin supported by the upper end portion of the housing; flow control valve means disposed within the drinking basin and in fluid communication with a pressurized water source for maintaining water in the drinking basin; a reservoir adapted to hold a supply of water; water circulation means connected to the drinking basin and the reservoir for circulating water therebetween; and temperature sensing means for sensing the temperature of the water in the drinking basin and for selectively activating the water circulation means to circulate water between the reservoir and the drinking basin in response to the temperature of the water in the drinking basin.
