Organizing Pastures to Keep Cattle out of Streams

A major point of emphasis in Caldwell County in recent years has been to better organize beef and dairy pastures to keep cattle out of adjacent streams, using paddock fencing and central feeding. In a recent inspection, Soil & Water Conservation District supervisors inspected this feeding and watering facility built several years ago by the landowner and the district. These structures, built at a cost of $20,000 to $30,000, including fencing, also allow manure to be deposited at a central point, later to be collected for use as a fertilizer.
