Two ponds, one very large, but it has never held water well.

If pigs were run in it for a season it would then hold water, but that does sound rather nasty.

It is high on a hill near the house, it would provide very good pressure if the pond was tapped near the bottom.

There is also a large water storage tank at a height that allows for watering stock in case of a power failure.

There is an old stone garage that is unused, my late brother-in-law’s father was in that garage during the deadliest tornado ever to hit the US, it began not far from the farm and passed directly over the house. He was a child in utero, his mother was hiding beneath a model T Ford.
