An animal watering system and method which includes a number of drinkers which can be remotely adjusted, upwardly and downwardly, to correspond with the height of the animals to be watered, as the animals grow, the drinkers having a carriage which slides within a support frame anchored to the animals' cage. The method and system of the invention allows force to be applied to the carriage in both the upward direction and the downward direction for remote height adjustment, and a coupling system permits the simultaneous remote height adjustment of some or all of the drinkers in the animal watering system.
