We've had over 12inches/ 300mm in the last 24 hours. Our little valley is wet, wet, wet.
In the last 4 days we've seen over 500mm/ 18inches. Weatherpersons predict another 6inches/ 150mm. I hope they are wrong.
The little creek has jumped its banks, blown out culverts, plowed down fences, and basically caused a lot of damage/ work.
I went out and moved the herd. Put them in the driveway. All the paddocks, but for a few close to the house, are compromised. Two cows are on the south bank, and two more cows plus the bull on the s/west bank. They should be ok. Should come back when the water drops down.
This morn Angelo and I pulled the ground-water pump out of the back. Lucky we did. The stream jumped its banks and would have probably taken the pump away.
River is up, and risingBoth directions
I am very much considering selling the herd. It'll take me ages to get the fences back in shape. It's a huge job. And I cant risk losing any. Letting them get away, get lost, get in trouble.
I'm better off selling for now, then taking the time to get the fences rebuilt professionally.
