    Have you tried or thought about putting a big drainage or culvert pipe starting at the end by the fence and run it under you land bridge to the gully, so the water runs through the pipe instead of destroying the edge by the fence. Then move the fence up a little bit to better ground

      I aoso thought that might be better as a permanent fix. That is what we do here and it should last 20+ years.

    • @DanMLarsen
      @DanMLarsen 21 день тому +12

      I was thinking the same thing. The water has to go somewhere and it will wash out in another place.

    Our friends who live 11 miles outside of Midland TX. and have a goat and sheep farm. After years of worrying about their animals during tornado season they built an above ground tornado shelter for them. They taught their guardian dogs to herd the goats and sheep into it when Danny sounded a siren. After a couple of weeks they had it down. I didn't think it was possible but they proved me wrong ! They built the shelter themselves a little at a time by using cinder blocks, rebarb and cement. Rebarb , steal and cement for the roof. Danny found several videos on UA-cam that showed them how to build it. They did the same thing for the chickens house. The shelters have steel doors that open on the inside and Danny taught Sadie their 6 year old guardian dog how to open and close it. The chickens door opens to the outside and either Danny or Sue can close it before going into their storm celler. The chickens and ducks are now trained to go into it whe it gets bad outside. The 3 guardian dogs are now trained to herd the goats and sheep to go into their storm shelter when Danny or Sue push the siren. They don't have to worry about a tornado killing their animals anymore.

    One method to solve the drainage issue is to remove all of that debris, all of it so you have clean ground. Put a 2'-3' diameter culvert in and put that levee back. Clean dirt only and pack it in 2"-4" lifts. Reinforce the front surface with that concrete debris. On the levee, make a low spot crossing it for a controlled over flow, NOT over the culvert. Put the overflow off to the side. Use that concrete debris you have to line it so it will not erode out. You will have to fabricate a grate to cover the entrance of the culvert. I would suggest welding some rebar with a lifting eyelet to enable you to remove it to clean out an debris that washed down that gully. That will buy you a few years for you to work on some swales to direct the other runoff into the dry creek.

    My suggestion would be to put in two smaller ponds not very deep to slow the water down and would drain fast. The speed of the water is what causes the most damage.

    Happy Mother's Day to Rachel! I am glad you are all safe after that storm. I'm also glad that Rachel was able to get all the goats back on the correct side of the fence, as well as Kora. Kora stayed with the herd. Well done, also to Kevin for filling in that area to shore it up more, and hopefully prevent the goats and dogs from getting out again. It's cute to see the baby goats gamboling around with their baby goat energy, and to see Russell being playful, too. He is growing up fast.

    Get yourself three or four 12" plastic drain pipes abot 15 to 20 feet long and line them up facing into the pen area and under the fence.
    They'll let the water drain through and keep the creatures from getting out..
    It will also save your fence.

    Kevin you should just mix concrete on top of the dam you made so it cascades over the concrete rather than eroding the soil. You did a great job filling that giant hole under the fence. You should probably raise the fence height in that section.

    Don't pile up too much at fence, putting alot of stress on fence & Goats could climb up & go over fence, possibly getting when they land on otherside.
    Try spreading big rocks & concrete back from fence & on flat areas & set culvert pipe both sides, to divert water & pressure to slow erosion.

    Hi Y'all, you don't understand, the water flow will keep flowing that way no matter what you do. All that covering will not work unless you put in french drain or covert. Your best bet is to block off that side so the goats can't go down there on rainy days.
