This is not entirely a cattle question but pertains a little I guess. Has any one had excessive problems with pollen and algae in thier stock ponds this year and what can you put in to help?
Will they work with Duck Weed also ?cmfiddler":3aqpapnh said:In Florida we are only allowed to use triploid grass carp so that reproduction to muscle out native fish is not a problem. They are provided at no charge by the water hyacinth control folks to ponds that meet criteria of being able to contain the fish and keep them out of other waterways. One put in about 6 years ago is now about 40" long. Because carp eat less % of their body weight as they get bigger, every few years they drop a few more in the pond for us. They also do water testing for dissolved oxygen and general pond health every 6 months or so, all for no charge as part of their overall mandate. Great program. Carp have kept the algae and weeds well in check so we have a crystal clear pond despite cattle bathing. This has also made it a splendid fishing hole for bass and sunfish which we stocked in about 5 years ago once the pond crud cleared.
