Professional Ranch Watering Solutions by Loftin Dirt Works
A well-built stock tank is a vital asset for any Texas ranch. Whether you’re running cattle or managing pastureland, stock tanks provide dependable hydration, support land usability, and improve long-term value. Poor placement or design can cause erosion, overflow, and wasted investment—so it pays to do it right the first time.

In Central Texas, the term stock tank refers to a man-made body of water—typically ¼ to 3 acres—built to supply water for cattle and other livestock. While some might call it a pond or lake, “stock tank” is the regional and industry-standard term. These tanks are designed specifically for ranch utility, not aesthetics.
Rainwater is the most common water source for Texas stock tanks, so site selection is everything. Ideal locations are low-lying areas such as natural valleys or drainages that act as watersheds. Proper planning ensures your tank fills naturally during rainfall and holds water efficiently. While some tanks may be supplemented by well water, this is often cost-prohibitive in our region.
