Even though this is family land, my wife and I are not involved in the family cattle business. Like I said, no one else fishes these ponds or cares about the fish in them other than me. So, adding fences would be seen as an unnecessary expense and inconvenience to those that do take care of the cattle. There are also ranch roads around each pond and on top of the dams that fences would interfere with. Fencing just is not an option. But, like I said before, the cattle can only access a small portion so about 75% of each pond has minimal impact from the cattle.
esshup, what is the stocking rate of grass carp per acre?
