Re: [RC] Wash your car - can't water your livestock... - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonWell clearly what needs to happen is that all livestock are to be kept at car washes and loaned to landscapers. What the &*(*((& is anyone thinking?????? *eyeroll* --- Spottedracer@xxxxxx wrote: Just saw this story on the evening news.... lafayette, Macon County, TN has implemented new water restrictions: Car wash businesses can only operate 2 days per week, citizens can irrigate yards 1 night per week, Farmers CANNOT use public water to fill/supply water to ANY livestock... Considering that MOST natural sources (ponds, small streams) are completely dry - Livestock owners are faced with a harsh decision: IF they are ABLE to transport ALL of their livestock within 24 hours - they MIGHT get them to auctions ALIVE. If they can't, then the record-breaking heat (103 today) - will simply KILL all of their livestock once their trophs go dry.. Since horses are considered 'livestock' - all horse owners face this same dilemma. But most horse auction houses have already shut down.. So there's no where for the horses to go - other-than boarding in a different county, or in the ground.. Anyone with a large breeding equine farm there is effectively out-of-business.. So this rural county would rather have clean cars than beef at the grocery store...Makes sense doesn't it? - LP D'Arcy L.
