[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 170092, member: 1292"] I have been biting my tongue for days. I wasn't going to respond to Maw comments. Well, I just bit through my tongue. Others on here know that constant muddy lots are a sore spot for me. Anyone who thinks its ok to leave cattle in mud 24-7/365 doesn't deserve to have cattle. :mad: I fully understand there will be times when they are in mud - but not everyday of their life. You need to be out there trying to find some relief for them. Haul it out, build mounds, slope the ground, roll out cornstalk/straw bales, something. We run a dozer business and are hired quite freguently to improve drainage in cattle lots. It's not as expensive as you might think. You can either spend your money making improvements or spend it on vet bills, death loss, or extra feed because they take longer to finish out. I've seen some get docked on their selling price because of excess mud on the cattle. I'd rather spend money on improvements with a chance of making it back at selling time rather than loosing money out of pure laziness. Ok, I'll step down now. [/QUOTE]
