"Saved 200 head of cattle on a 106-degree afternoon."
We woke up to bone-dry stock troughs with high heat forecast for the rest of the week. Called Val Verde Water Well Service at 6:30 AM. Steve had his pull rig out to our pasture off Hwy 90 by 9:00 AM. Pulled a 450-foot column, found a lightning-damaged motor, replaced it with a heavy-duty Franklin unit, and had water roaring back into the main cistern before 1:00 PM. No corporate runaround, just honest-to-God master craftsmanship. The only crew I trust on my ranch.
