Idling in first gear. Can't go any slower. I guess I could try riding the clutch or the brakes. I would probably kill the motor. 50 cows in a relatively small area leave a lot of cow pies.I feel your pain guys. About once or twice't a year....
Those frozen pies are like BOULDERS!
Gotta go slowwwwww
We don't have fireants. How close together are their mounds? Down in the corner by the river the cow pies are about 2 or 3 feet apart. I was going to take a picture but it snowed this morning creating a hidden mine field of frozen cow pies.
You need to add more protein so they make flat pies instead of turds
Sometimes it seems they are 10 ft. apart or closer. Some get around a foot tall. Lots of smaller 3 and 4 inchers and everything in between. Also compounding the problem, our ground cracks open when it's dry so when it does start to rain you have divots created. Hit an ant hill and a hole might be right next to it.
In a bad drought that is what some areas of my pastures can look like - caused by pocket gophers. Our soil is sandy loam and well aerated but bumpy to drive around on.
I can't imagine dealing with pocket gophers or fire ants. At least I know these lumps will melt and they are pure fertilizer.
Pocket gophers are worthless. Every mound creates not only a mound of dirt, but is the first place cheatgrass colonizes and spreads. But, it is all rangeland that takes 2.5 acres to support a cow for a month, so just have to put up with it. Feeds the snakes and badgers.
