We had a cattle guard at our Virginia farm and maybe our cows are geniuses but it did not seem to stop them. We have a wooden fence around the house and yard and we used to have a cattle guard on the driveway but on at least 4 seperate instances we would wake up to find half the herd inside the fence line eating my dad's plants.

I thought cattle guard / brush guards were what I put on the front end of my truck...The more yah know I guess. Also we called them cow catchers too but I'm from Wisconsin originally so that may be why different verbiage for different areas.

Two of the cattle guards were built out of railroad iron. They were in the vicinity of 10,000#'s and were a real challenge to move. PO had a line haul truck/trailer/dozer and he ran in and out of the property that were heavy enough to bend the rails.

Good deal. Look forward to meeting my new VZ neighbor. Looks like a lot of great speakers, information, and vendors.

Ditto!
The pond will benefit, but with the way that it's set up, if you need more lime in it, just have the truck back up to the pond and let 'er rip.

Yes but it would be smart (assuming you have low alkalinity) to put some lime in the water while doing the fields.

Had to work on the dam and spillway of the pool above my main pond last week. The water was seriously starting to go over the dam and some large holes appeared which might have been from beavers or nutria. A few bucket fulls of dirt in the holes and cleaning out the spillway appear to have fixed the problem.....for now. I know I have a beaver in the area and I need to find him.

Mark, I'd bet if you swung by Al's for a bit of instruction, you could take care of the problem yourself easily without having to actually be there on the property.
