[QUOTE="danl, post: 839754, member: 229"] I was checking on the cows tonight and noticed a terrible smell, I walked down to the pond and it looks like all of my catfish and thousands of perch are dead. I only saw one live little perch, and it didn't look too good This is about a 3 1/2 acre pond and is around twelve feet deep at the deepest part. The cows can't get in it, but they water where it backs up under a fence. I have a waterer buried in the levee but they prefer the back up water. I let the cows in another pasture so they won't have to drink out of it. I have a little pond in that field and I didn't see any dead fish in it. You all think it could be turnover this early in the year? I didn't see algae. It has been extremely hot for a week, close to a 100 every day. I spot sprayed a few gallons of Grazon pd and Remedy a couple of week ago, but stayed away from the pond. I got a sample of water I guess I will take some where to get tested. Any ideas? I hate losing the fish, but am more worried about the cows. I can't totally keep them out of this field, but they will probably stay in the other field. I just wasn't ready to start them grazing on it yet. [/QUOTE]
