Ray and Edgar Stroeker maintain pasture under a four year range conservation plan with cross fences and a pipeline to water newly created pasture. They report better grass recovery from deep rooted species like little bluestem and Texas wintergrass, plus ongoing stock water from springs and future fencing.
