Help digging a pond in Elton, LA

Just bought some property and there is a 20 acre pasture with a couple hundred acres of woods surrounding. Easy access to pasture.

I want to dig a 7-12 acre pond in that pasture if possible and trying to find the best way to find someone who could dig for a decent price.

I have heard stories from people getting it done for free and the person digging keeps the dirt to $4-5/yd.

Anyone in the Elton area know someone who could dig it for a decent price?

Also looking for help on design, stocking...
