We have had 1 year and a half or so of extreme moisture, it seemed like it never would stop raining, but when it did about a couple months ago, it like a faucet cut off. We have waterers in some fields but not all, and in the field where most of our cows and calves are that pond has been getting noticeably low. We have been running tanks of city water for them for a while now. The problem has come in that we have been buying some stockyard cows, and one has stayed hidden for the most part in the back of the place by herself. We found her last night just before dark, out in the pond in mud up to her back. We got her pulled out with the utv. She got up within a few minutes and is eating and drinking but looks pretty rough. I have fastened the cattle in the front away from the pond, and put out a roll of hay. Hoping for some rain to put water back in the branches and ponds. The weather forecast doesn't show any rain for at least another week.
