Never should have had to take place. You gonna run cattle in the bottoms you need to have a plan to move those cattle on a moments notice. I think these folks were newby's to running river bottom cattle. Glad it turned out as well as it did. Folks in the cattle biz can I'll afford another black eye due to bad animal husbandry decisions.
And act of God and it's the cattlemen's fault?? Guess it's the farmer's fault they lost the whole dam wheat crop too. Yeah we get that kind of rain every year everywhere. :shock: :shock:
TB, the trinity floods this far south a few times of the year if not more . They knew far a couple of weeks this water was coming. It has been worse hopefully it want get any badder. If your gonna run cows especially that many in the bottoms you better have pens to catch em and a place to take em . If you grave through the bottom between Dayton and Liberty you will see low bottom lands on each side of Highway 90. Cattle are run on both sides of the highway, but the similarity stops there. One side has large catch pens and a all weather road to em . You wanna venture a guess as to who had a problem.
You gonna run cattle you better have a plan, you gonna have bottom cattle better have a hellava plan. Last time I looked the Trinty was flooding from here to Dallas also many other major rivers. Heard about anything similar??? The folks running this operation are new to bottom cattle so I've been told.
I think Caustic and his folks ran cattle in some of these bottoms years ago. Maybe he can share a little knowledge with us. I ran many of mine in the bottoms close to the Gulf, which believe or not is even tougher cause you have to worry about Hurricanes which don't give you as much notice. Not physically able to handle the pressure anymore is one of the major reasons I'm outa of the biz now.
