Cattle Pond

It seems like every time I look at our ponds, I see chocolate milk.  A craving comes upon me for that sugary touch added to the goat milk I drink.   But something amidst is going on here…

Cattle Pond

The cattle have been causing erosion to this pond for decades.  Currently the pond is only a couple feet deep, and at most is 4 feet deep.  How many more years until this pond is completely filled in?

I had remembered in my youth that muskrats, turtles, and fish (such as black bullheads) were in it.   A lot of the time it dries up now, unable to withstand the dry months without a deep depth.   How can I ice skate on dirt?  It was a perfect circular ice skating rink in the 1980’s.
