General Statistics
B.
Livestock
The watershed includes a number of larger livestock
operations, but only two with over 1,000 head or more.
Both of these operations are located in
Pickaway
County
. In addition, Pickaway county has
a total of six swine and seven beef operations.
Madison
County
has nine sheep, 17 dairy, 9 beef, 6 exotic, and 13 horse operations.
Logan
County
has 3 dairy and 1 beef operations within the watershed.
Franklin
County
has one large feed lot of 500 beef cattle and between 19 and no more than 30
other livestock operations. Figure
40 lists county data on livestock totals.
Figure 41 lists the total number of nutrient management plans in the
Darby Watershed. A growing number
of residents in the watershed own several horses, llamas, or other animals on
lots too small to properly treat the amount of animal waste produced.
(Problems associated with these actions will be discussed in the
Subwatershed
Plans section.)
