Re: [RC] Wash your car - can't water your livestock... - Jody Rogers-ButtramOk....My turn. We have lots of cows. About 250 mamma cows. We have them on several different farms, some we own, and some we have leased. All of these pastures have natural water...ponds or lakes. One farm is dried up. Those cows are on city water. Another pasture is dried up, those cows are on city water. Yet another pasture here at the house, about 60 acres, has two ponds...both of which are dry. Joel took "big boy" (to those that know us, that is the very loud generator we have) and hooked it up to an old well and pump. He is running Big Boy about 6 hours a day to pump water into one of the ponds. In fact, I could hear Big Boy running this morning when I went out to feed the horses at 6:30am....and Big Boy is about 1/4 mile back behind the house. I bet the neighbors LOVED that. Anyway, we have to water ALL of our horses out of the
city water too. So, those poor farmers may be having some of the water problems that we are. Just because they are farmers, doesn't mean that they don't have their ponds/wells dry up and have to use city water. ***Oh, Sorry Eric, I didn't mean for this to sound like I was picking on you. You did say, *my* farm. Jody Eric Rueter <Eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
