Worked with a guy from around Monroe La.
He fooled with cows.
Momma cow had a calf, few days later he noticed the momma cow was acting funny out in the pasture..
Didn’t see the calf..
Got close enough he could hear the calf bawling..
Figured a coyote had injured it and had in down.
Got closer.. calf had fell in an abandoned Septic tank.
He went to the neighbors house to get some help. He had a front end loader tractor, but was afraid to get it too close and risk crushing the calf.
They got it out by hand… 🤢🤢

A 25 foot deep septic tank?? Kinda thinking the same thing... seems very weird.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

A 25 foot deep septic tank?? Kinda thinking the same thing... seems very weird. Could have been a had dug well laid up with field stone. I had a neighbor who pastured his dairy cows on an old neighboring farm that he had bought. One morning, he found one of his cows had fallen head first in a well covered with old rotting boards. She couldn't stand up after we lifted her out & had to shoot her.

A 25 foot deep septic tank?? Probably on old leach pit/cesspool. Pre-septic tank technology! Big hole in ground with stone or brick walls with gaps to let liquids seep out. No baffles, no laterals - just a leaky hole. When I was 6 or 7, we 'helped' Dad dig one of those in our back yard. It was just a big hole lined with cinder blocks and covered with a couple layers of creosoted planks, then buried.
