    You need someone to go out on the field to "Witch" for water location either with a tree branch or a metal coat hanger. People may scoff at this idea, but it works ! My Dad always "Witched" on his properties with a metal coat hanger and never drilled a dry well. He always had success with wells having lots of water in them.

      I use brass braising rods to locate water. In this age of lydar there's no excuse for a dry well if there's any water down there.
      Geologist now fly over soil formations with very sophisticated equipment and are able to locate many minerals including gold and silver deposits. That's the land China wants to buy up. It's known to everyone except the owners to have valuable minerals.

    Hoping Dunbar’s eye will heal without loss of sight. Regarding your water situation, you have several barns with large roofs and you could do rain catchment into cisterns. Then use that for your water troughs. I know you have dry summers, but you do have rain and snow melt in the rest of the year that you could capture. Best of luck!!!

    I had my sister witch my well, then called in the crew to dig the well. She hit the water right on the spot and depth she said. She said that was the best spot as there were three streams merging there. If the well diggers had dug where they wanted, I don't think it would have turned out as well. Even tho it's a shallow well, it has never run dry or been pumped dry even after 24 hours.

Iv usually put an antibiotic tube under the eyelid for 3-4 days or a vet can inject antibiotic and cortisone under the membrane, in dairy cows, quite easy. No idea how the hell you can do that with an American bison??? Good luck?

  • @jeanfischer7444
    @jeanfischer7444 Před 9 měsíci +8

    Hi, Dusty and family! Dusty, I'm sorry you didn't hit water at either drill site. Have you ever thought about trying Water Witching? It really does work. You might try to witch yourself, although it doesn't always work for everyone. I did it myself in the mid-1970s while working on a dairy farm. The hired man was supposed to track the water from the well-house to the spring hole by the windmill, as the owners were going to be doing some underground work on the main driveway, but the bent copper rods he was working with weren't working for him, I asked him if I could try. He handed the rods over to me. I started at the well-house and slowly walked back and forth across the driveway in front of the garages. I followed the spring's path until I got to the windmill. I could feel the water's strong pull and watched as the two rods crossed each other. I left a mark in the dirt every time they crossed. I was later asked if I could trace the electrical wiring from the house to the barn. I didn't know if I could or not. I said I'd give it a try. I had the same results. Only the pull wasn't as strong as when I tracked the water. As the work progressed on the driveway, I was later told, after cooking supper and doing my evening chores, that I had been spot-on where the spring and wiring ran. I was happy I had saved the owners a lot of money and unnecessary delays in their project. I am sorry to see Dunbar's eye. Eye injuries happen so fast, and their unknown origins leave us baffled. I sincerely hope something can be done about it.

But just 100 foot away there was a well that the neighbor had that bunches of water as one time it ran his house,our house and the next door neighbor on the other side. À few feet times just makes a difference.

First well-driller didn't believe in it and I told him not to let the door hit him on the way out. There was no water where he said he would drill.

    Sounds like you need to split the Dunbar and Hoss herd in half.
    Not the way to drill for water, you need a water witch (someone that knows how to use the sticks). My great grandfather was great at it.
    Praying this draught and heat ends soon. We're in SW TX on the border and they put restrictions on the farmers and ranchers for irrigation again.

    My uncle was an artesian well driller. I was a kid so I don’t remember much other than it supplied the farm and the house. I do remember the taste though. It was fantastic! I hope you try again. It’ll be worth it.
    I hope Dunbars eye gets better.
    Use a divining rod?🙄

    Dusty find an old-timer & use a witches wand to walk the property looking for water!!! If you have water they will find it & they are always 100% spot on!!! You certainly have some older indians in the area!!!

    have you thought about a water witch? a one that s a good sensitive can tell you 1) do you have water 2) where it is and 3) how deep. I met one my grandma knew that is the last I have known of full fledged witch and that was 55 years ago and he was in his 80s, I took a workshop 30 years ago and did pretty good so there are probably more out there

    Most people won't believe in what advice I am going to give you. Find an old fashioned water dowser, a water witch. A person that can find water with a "Y" fruit tree limb. Most common limb used is cherry. Some people also use peach. All through the Appalachia Mountains for centuries. Water was found by Dowsers, Water Witches. The house I live in now. The well was found by my grandfather over 60 years ago. Well hit water at 110 feet. Drilled the pocket down to 213 feet. Wishing you the best of luck.

  • @ataurus2at

  • @RuthAnnnMorris
    @RuthAnnnMorris Před 9 měsíci +1

    I don’t remember what’s called, but I’ve seen it done and I think it’s called “water dosing” where a person used two sticks or wire and walks along until the sticks or wire start pulling to the ground. Somehow they always find a source of water. It’s just an idea. I’ve seen it done in Northern Arizona on ranches and it worked every time!! Some wells up there have had to go deep, but the supply is still there.

    I saw on Sonne Farms where they had this same problem with their beef cattle having the clouded eye. It was pink eye. They put medicine in their eyes and gave them some type of shot with one of those dart guns. Maybe reach out to them. I hope it’s easy to treat and it’s not permanent.

Please keep us posted. I'm thrilled about your raising bison. Such a magnificent animal - truly a national treasure. Thanks for sharing.

  • @mspeedie52
    @mspeedie52 Před 9 měsíci +4

    Just wondering if you got someone to come and water witch for water? Some oldtimers sometimes use willow branches held in their hands and when they find water the branches cross there is generally water under the ground.

  • @GuantanamoBayBarbie2
    @GuantanamoBayBarbie2 Před 9 měsíci +1

    100 ft & still no water. Dusty, can you possibly work on a catchment system to catch & store your winter rains? Maybe that would be a partial solution.
    It makes me realize just how wise & how blessed my grandparents were to have acquired 60 acres of land adjacent to the Willamette River in Oregon. I'm pretty sure they didn't have to drill deeper than 20-30 ft at most. But the back-to-back floods of Dec.1964 & Feb. 1965 sure hit us hard. Only their house & yard stayed dry. Our foundation was 4 ft off the ground & that was enough to keep it from coming inside, but our floors warped from the underneath side where water did reach. We stayed at their house just up the road. It was a hasty decision that saved our lives - we didn't know that the road had washed out in the other direction, had we headed for town instead. NEVER drive through floodwaters!
    We watched a tractor disappear into those waters, and I suppose it's still buried there somewhere.
    Farming & ranching is a tough living in good times. But it's a good life, & the best place to raise kids. They'll have a good work ethic.

  • @shannonhedden

    I don’t know if anyone has told you,but eyes can go south in an hour. On horses we put masks on them to keep the affected eye out of the sun. Don’t think Dunbar would stand for that😂 Keep the meds coming into that eye if at all possible. Hope it works out. So sorry about the 💦. Need a divining rod. You can find one really easy. Good luck🍀

    Hope Dunbars eye is salvageable.

  • @SbrGrendel65
    @SbrGrendel65 Před 9 měsíci +1

    I believe from watching a farmer drilling a well on one of his farms. You want to see gravel right before you hit water. Then they’ll let it run for a day or so to make sure it’s got a good source of water and you’ll measure it to see what you can put out and not run the well dry.
    Dunbar looked to have an infection, maybe you’ll cover this towards the ending of vlog

    There are medicines to treat eye injuries. Back in June I thought my Chihuahua was going to loose his eye, he had multiple ulcers in it. I used 3 different kinds of eye meds often. The vet was a little hesitant about the medicine with the Steroid in it. Just as soon as I used it as a last resort, it healed very quickly. I hope it's not too late for Dunbar. I hope you have a vet with experience in eye issues. Hang in there Buddy!
