Good to have higher ground to move them to....that's a lot of water there....I'm wondering what the water flow here is, but don't want to find out too soon....

You will want to know BEFORE you start building infrastructure..

True. OK, send one of those Virginia storms down to @CntryBoy777 so he can map the drainage.
Sure is a lot of water. Time for a break!
Are you going to let them make something?

We can actually walk out in the fields today without wearing Muck boots. The lambs are growing like weeds and a couple of the bigger ones are having a bit of trouble getting their heads into the creep feeder. They have just about ran out of grass in the paddock they are in so if I'm going to be outside for awhile I just open a gate and let them out on the "lawn" around the house. If they start getting too far away I can usually get them back in by just walking down toward the shop.

Love it, they have to be thrilled to be in the yard with green grass ! Happy to read that it is not raining there...that has to feel odd, lol

Nice pic Mike. It's nice to see some green lawn. Here it's still all white, some parts brown.

I wish it was that easy getting the cows to go where I want.

Perhaps you need to give them those cubes that @greybeard mentioned before to get them to go where you want them to.I wish it was that easy getting the cows to go where I want.

They will follow me whenever I have a bucket but they don't like to go through gates. They are getting better about it though.
The sheep started to get a little too confident in their grazing up the driveway so I had to put Lance out to hold them where I could get them back in the gate. He really dislikes this job more than anything. He gets so intense that he starts shaking having to hold for so long. That big ewe in the middle looking up is the herds "Watcher". She will let the others know whenever Lance gets up to go around them.
