Western Illinois | We have an old well that we haven't used for water in probably 15 years as the cattle just drink out of the creek or pond but im considering fencing them out of the creek and using the well water for supplemental water in dry years as im trying to implement more rotational grazing on the farm. What would you recommend for a pump to just fill a 200 gallon tank morning and evening. . Thinking some type of solar panel down to a battery that a pump hooks onto. Im guessing the well is around 30 feet deep and right now the water is about 5 foot from the top of the ground. Next question. About 3 years ago we had a week old calf fall through the wooden cover and drown in the well. Is there anything I should do or worry about with wanting the cattle to drink the water? I was considering trying to pump it all out and then dump a bunch of bleach down and then drain a few more times? Not sure if its really necessary or not?
Thanks!!!
