Anyone knowledgeable about wells? Using well to water sheep.

I fished out a dead opposum one time, and a rabbit another time that managed to get under the cover of the hand dug well. Different times..... hadn't been in there that long as they were totally intact.... Put 2 gal bleach in it, let it sit 2 days... then ran washing machine 2 loads flushed toilet a couple times, and then started using the water..
Yes, if the sheep or goats got on top some of the urine and manure pellets would have gotten in there... There are worse things... and if you have been there awhile, the effects will disperse... Couple gallons of bleach...

thank you so much, it's always better to hear it from people with experience.

If the chlorine smell is that bad, I would be using the well water... JUST ME......

I would not worry at all. Bleach it once, and then all good!
