[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1154225, member: 14713"] This is a very unfortunate deal. The bull owner should have made arrangements with a responsible person for the water to be checked multiple times each day, especially in hot weather, especially if there was only one waterer for 40 bulls. 40 bulls in dry lot would be constantly looking for trouble. Waterer, fences, other bulls, you name it are going to get broken. I can relate. Today our co-op water system is down with a major leak. I'm no good at working, but I volunteered to make a trip to the big city for repairs. Backhoe guy is coming soon to see what we need. Not sure if it's the 4" main line or 2" line that branches off of it. Fortunately the dams and water holes here are full so some minor pasture adjustments can be made to ensure cattle have water. We would all be in a major bind if there was no surface water. For household use, I'm now running on my old well that pumps black water at times. Gave it a strong dose of bleach this morning so that should help clear it up some. Don't want to wash dishes or clothes in it for a while, but it will do to flush the toilet. Kinda miss the old outhouse at times. :nod: [/QUOTE]
