What options do I have to help these ponds besides removing the cattle?

1) build an exclusion device that limits the amount of cattle that can visit the pond at one time AND limit how far they can walk into the water.
2) exclude them from the pond and pump water to stock tanks for them to drink out of.

If you can't keep them out of the water there is nothing you can do about the muddy water. Period.
