Unless there will be a heckuva lot of cattle, not sure I see a problem. Cows and water holes go together. They don’t seem to bother the fishery.

Of course, droughts like we have been having can change a lot of things. My 3 acre, now 1.5 acre, pond would be ripe for an oxygen crash if the cormorants hadn’t again thinned out most of the fish.

Where in West Texas? I’m originally from Muleshoe.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
