There are variables that will affect the specific temperature output of the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24100, specifically the outside temperature and wind, so there is not a temperature listed. That said, Kat's does warn that this should only be used on metal and to avoid placing the pad on plastic because it is hot enough to potentially melt any plastic surface, which should give you a good idea of how hot this pad can get. Essentially, barring extraordinary cold it should more than do the job of keeping water from freezing at the bottom for your cattle.
