[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1798171, member: 39112"] Interesting to read all your comments. We have a 'river' along some of our pasture. River...hahahaha.... if the summer is dry enough you can walk across one certain spot without getting your feet wet, but if there is a lot of run off in spring it floods the whole valley and you can take a boat where you would usually drive a vehicle. Anyway. Lost a few cows in the mud throughout the years, but I never thought about loosing calves. Haven't as far as I'm aware of. Fencing the river banks out has crossed our minds a few times, but as you said, the cows use it for water and it's a long distance. Over a mile and it's not a straight line, would also loose the banks grass for pasture. Travlr's comment about the best 'happy' accident gives food for thought, fencing out the riverbank, let vegetation and brush grow is beneficial too, because it keeps the banks from eroding and all that. Like I've said, interesting to read all your guys comments because it gives food for thought on ones own similar problems. What to do, what to do...... [/QUOTE]
