As we watch La Niña predictions unfold to a 57% chance in December persisting through January-March 2025, it might be a good idea to look at drought plans, take some pressure off of pastures, and get some hooves on the trailer. #rangeland#drywinter#sellemdontfeedem

Floodgate operations are underway at Wirtz and Starcke Dam. Flows are faster and water levels are higher than usual downstream of the dams. Please take action to protect people and property that may be affected. More info: https://t.co/Bof53C1I9I
What a sight for sore eyes... floodgates open at Max Starcke Dam as thousands of gallons of water pour into Lake Travis, courtesy of 3"-6" of Hill Country rain this week. #austin#atx#texas
Each flood gate at Max Starcke Dam has a capacity of 10,000 cfs
Three gates are currently open.
That means... *drumroll*... 13.5 million gallons of water are heading downstream into Lake Travis every minute 🙌
