    The cows are sure liking that job, kind of a moo-ving experience. Your cows were also watching you when you were playing with Strawberry Cheesecake at home. Nice to have an audience that doesn't criticize your work. As for the turtle, he's just hoping you make it snappy!

    Looking up to the right from the soft spot at the fence, you can see it's actually at the bottom of a pretty wide natural swale, hence the soggy ground.

    That is when you need a whole lot of mats and build a wooden highway. Find an old pipeline that is complete and they often give them away for anyone who will haul them.

  • @chosen1one930
    @chosen1one930 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    My guess is that the rain runs down into the pond creating some soggy nasty soil plus the cow crap adds to the softness

    Cows are curious. I’ve had more than a few bovine supervisors over the years, especially when fixing fences and working pastures. I’ve found them to be pretty friendly too.
    I enjoy watching your work. You are very creative.

    • @wendymorrison5803

    Looks like it's time to get one of those LD18 AMI rotating bucket setups for the 250 like you have on your personal machine. Would have been perfect for the front face of the dam.

    When you said "...Off To A Rough Start" I thought 'Oh no!..What broke down now? Or did something slide off the damn and go swimming?' Nope.... 3/4 of the way through the video,...the truck decided to go slipping and a sliding like a kid with a snowboard at a ski slope! I bet the cows enjoyed the show.

  • @maxmacdonald7174
    @maxmacdonald7174 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The sounds of the 250 crushing stumps in the morning, music to my ears. Big John want's to use his body to take care of problems then Chris use's the excavator to take car of the issue.

  • @richwielechowski5191

    Should put a field tile line through the wet area, will get the water to the pond and dry up that area of the pasture.

  • @marciam6224
    @marciam6224 ปีที่แล้ว

    I follow a couple who built a house out of shipping containers. It is in TX and has a nice (now) pond on it but it was so green you could've about walked across it on the algae. They installed an aerator on it and hooked it up to a solar panel and after a couple days, it was clear as can be. If your cows will be drinking this maybe you should do that too? But then I fell way behind on your videos so who knows, by now you may have figured it out yourself. lol Back to my binge watching. I only have 167 more to get to where you are now.

    Good to see Uncle John. Hopefully he's fully recovered from the operation by now.
    Might be a good idea for the owner of the pond to get a solar power water pump and aerator... could help keep the water clearer and get rid of that nasty algae. HAB's, cyanobacteria, can kill cattle.
