Most cows drink between 1 to 2 gallons of water per day per 100 lbs of body weight of the cow.

Most cows weight between 1,600 lbs to 2,400 lbs.

So for lets say a 1,600 lb cow would need to drink at least 16 gallons of water per day and for a 24,00 lb cow the cow would need around 24 gallons of water per day.

The cows water consumption usually increases more in the summer months so you may want to double that amount to make sure the cow has plenty of water.

You could also have an automatic water valve that fills the cows water drinking tank with water when it gets low so that the cow always has water to drink.
