Douglas,

<<<So for that reason the first two things you check for when approaching an oil well in the American Southwest is for rattlesnakes wrapped around the wellhead; and for blackish shiny looking weepy cowpies, which suggest that the local cows have been partying and "lickin' the wellhead" once again during the night.... Just hope it wasn't a big ol' bull!>>>

We have that problem also. Rattlesnakes have a tendency to curl up under the steps to the tank battery and that will make for an unpleasant surprise. Also we have had numerous cows get caught in the pump jack. That is always the ranchers most expensive cow of course...ggg

Paul

Doug:
You are a fount of knowledge. Should I ever get to visit a well, I will be sure to wear my appropriate s---t kickin' boots!<VBG>
