Chet, take a water sample in a new baby bottle. Check with the USDA on where to send it. In Texas, we send it to Texas A & M.

I'm not sure what you would look for; bacteria I guess. However, since this isn't drinking water, I'm not sure what amounts you would consider as being a problem. I'm not really convinced that cows are a problem. However, if it were a feed lot or maybe some kind of chicken grower, I would pass.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
