So after 15 inches of rain between March 10 and April 10, it appears that I am starting to dry out some. Luckily the cows are all pretty much in pasture which could be considered dry at this point.
However in the cow lots, i have some sections that are just unbelievably deep with mud. To the point that full grown cows are 3/4 of their front legs deep. It is just unbelievable. Unfortunately a lot of these muddy areas are in front of openings to the barn, so the cows constantly trudge through these areas. Worse yet they are on the east side of the shed, so they don't get much of the afternoon sunlight.
My question is, is there anything I can do to try to fix these spots. What would a load of lime do to these areas?
