Nice work is that 5/8 hose size. Keep up the good work 😊

[@broderickpride9124]

I believe so. I just know it was taking too long. So I changed it to a 1.25 inch PVC.

No rakes? Also, congrats on the water tanks!

[@PrideRanch]

😂🙈😂…..I wasn’t thinking. Left them at home.

[@robertbruni3567]

Have you looked into solar? We replaced all our wells with solar. Love em.

[@PrideRanch]

I have. It was too expensive. Who did you use?

[@robertbruni3567]

​@@PrideRanch In our case it was cheaper than replacing old rotted windmills. I got the idea of switching to solar after visiting ranches in Namibia. They all had switched to solar. As you, they were having to go out into the desert every few days and run generators to fill tanks. Yea they are steep in price. First gen ones were around $5500 if I recall but that was 6+ years ago. Last one we did was closer to $7000. Expensive but fairly maintenance free. We just leave ours on full time. Run them from the ground into a trough then through an overflow into a stock pond/lake. 12 gallons per min in full sun. We installed six solar wells over the years and have replaced one pump in 6 years, otherwise no issues.

[@broderickpride9124]

@@robertbruni3567please send the name. The one I looked at was $25,000.00. It was just solar power to power up my water well.

[@michellesmith1521]

Hey, I love the cows were observing the new area. It looked like a large sand box. I just have a question about the water. Is their a way to collect rain water in an extra drum ? You would have to change the design of the top maybe having it more open so, that the rain could get inside. Then making a sturdy knitted or welding something together so, that the will containe less debri inside. This could help with water supply or can it not? Just a question because I know there is a lake or pond there as well. Just trying to see what can also be helpful or an add on if possible? But, the question is for anyone as well as you. Even though it would get filled but, it would be extra water if needed.

[@broderickpride9124]

You are correct!! In the event there is rain collecting rain water will help reduce the stress on my two water ponds. In 2022 and 2023 there wasn’t enough rain to collect. I still have two places I’m considering building wind breaks and collecting water off the two of those.

[@michellesmith1521]

@@broderickpride9124 I just wondered because I do it for plants at work. I know it would take many days for the rain to fill the container up. Thanks for responding.

[@PrideRanch]

Yeah!! It would take a long time. I was nervous and desperate. The cows were drinking 1200 to 1500 gallons of water a day. I still want to try what you suggested. Really like you sharing ideas and other ideas. Keep it coming

[@michellesmith1521]

Thank you for taking the time to respond and explain .

[@simplymejourney998]

That cow did that on purpose. 😂😂

[@PrideRanch]

Exactly!!!! She had 100 acres and she picked that spot to mess with me. 😂😂

[@michellesmith1521]

Sorry, about the long questions but, I just wanted to know could it be done.

[@PrideRanch]

No apologies needed. It was a great question. I pondered it for a long time.
