@lacrawfishco Yes, we’re draining our ponds… But it might not mean what you think it means. Man-made crawfish ponds account for a huge amount of the live crawfish eaten inside and outside of Louisiana. A lot of the crawfish we ship comes from our own farm, but a whole lot also comes from local farms we buy from across the state. We source crawfish from Central Louisiana all the way down to South Louisiana, and not every farmer drains at the same time. Some ponds are wrapping up. Some ponds are still catching. That means we are still receiving plenty of live Louisiana crawfish through our buying docks. And as we get deeper into the summer season, wild-caught crawfish start playing a bigger role too. Wild crawfish are a little different, and they’re part of what helps keep the late season going when farm ponds begin slowing down. So just because we’re draining some of our own ponds does not mean we are done shipping live crawfish. That’s just part of preparing those ponds for the next cycle. If you’re wanting a summer crawfish boil and want beautiful live Louisiana crawfish shipped straight to you, we still have them. 🦞 Comment “CRAWFISH” to get started.
