Our cattle rarely get to this pond. Maybe once a year for a week at most. It is fenced off in a little trap next to the hunting cabin. Until I cleaned it, it was mainly to have something to look at.

Somehow in my previous post about adding "300 pounds", I didn't mention we added adult Talapia. Those ponds have a terrible Chara problem and we are trying anything but chemicals right now. May be forced to use chemicals if they dont work. We added them last year and they seemed to help but died in the freeze.
