[QUOTE="3MR, post: 411537, member: 4180"] Depends on the pond bottom. I wouldnt worry about them drowing. Cows can swim. Its not a good idea to let the cows into the pond. They will defecate in the same water at the same time the are drinking. They arent the smartest animal in the world. Bacteria can build up and cause you all kinds of problems. With that said, at this time I dont have my ponds fenced off. Some of them are 1/2 acre plus and defenitely over a cows head. I havent had any pond related problems yet, but I also have fresh water available for them. If I could fence them off I would. [/QUOTE]
