Went to check out the water level in the tank. Took a few pics while I was there. Wanted to share them.

Don't see much of the tank. Is your water holding out ok? Not much grass. Are you feeding hay yet? Cows look to be in good shape. Good lookin too.

Here are a few that show the water level a bit better. This one has a little water in it...two others are DRY! 
We are not feeding any hay now. These 10 were in smaller pens and we had 70 jersey heifers on the pasture. When the grass ran out, the jerseys left. We moved these on this 35 acres and they seem to be holding up fairly well. Rain would be welcome tho... ;-)

nice looking animals, sorry you had to loose the Jerseys, such a pretty cow. hope you all get rain soon, and things can pick up.
we call 'em tanks too. I always thought it came from the Spanish tanque. Which translates to ....tank. :lol:

Well, as a matter of fact, there were frogs...lots of frogs...lots of great big frogs in there. I worry that they went the way of everything else in this drought.

don't worry about frogs, they bury themselves in the ground and kind of go into a state of animation (cyrogenics) and when there is some water out they pop. they only die off in the hot weather if they get caught in the direct sun and fry. that is not often.
did not realize that was you place as well. as I said before in another post look very nice.

You fish out of ponds and you water cattle out of tanks...well sometimes you fish the tanks too.

so up here we call them dugouts and ours are getting pretty low --So are your ponds fed by runoff water or ground water and do you drill wells for water there??-- My well here is a 3 foot crib 80 feet deep At the north of my place I can get water at 12 feet and all I can pump --Just drill down with a hand post hole drill (its all sand) and pound a sandpoint in and its good water to takes about an hour toget waterFly-guy":3cyv4xee said:
