[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1833189, member: 43107"] To Clarify: The dam for the pond is OK. The beavers are damming up the spillway causing the water in the pond to rise to the point of almost going over the top of the dam for the pond. The pond isn't a primary drinking water source for the cattle. Originally, the dam was built to provide access to the back 40. The pond will be fine as long as the beavers don't block the spillway to the point of causing water to go over the top of the dam...that would cause huge problems...possibly compromising the whole dam. The "not doing the whole thing at once" was in regards to clearing the beaver structure being built on the spillway. A couple of years ago, I had some culverts put in downstream to create a better crossing for equipment/vehicles. Didn't want to release such a large volume of water all at once for fear it could wash out the culverts...just controlling the volume of water being released at one time by clearing the spillway - which is there to prevent overflowing the dam and keep the water at a reasonable level.
