Greg Judy describes Timeless fence posts on leased farm for sheep and cattle

[@dawnhoover2726]

I appreciate your videos. Short, sweet, and to the point! I am learning.

[@Elfunko99x]

Thanks for the education! If you ever build another pond, please film as much of the planning, prep, build etc as possible ✌️ hope I can make it to a farm event or somethin in the future 🙌 what an education that would be!

[@danielb1877]

Hi Greg. Thank you for your insight. Because of the help you have given, when I went for a fence charger I went double the recommended size (Cyclops charger), and have not regretted that decision. It is a small additional cost to upgrade the size, but well worth it.

[@jimpokorny4598]

You Sir are one smart individual, I am amazed at your farming and fencing knowledge. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@cornerstone403]

Hi, Greg. Here from Justin Rhodes channel. Really interesting what all you told Justin. I have no farm, no chickens, no anything. We live in a little town in the mountains of North Georgia. I just love all the farming info and seeing farming lives.

[@lizatl1]

I enjoyed you and Jan when Justin Rhodes was buying his sheep from you. I am a new subscriber from Mobile, AL. I look forward to more of your Monday thru Friday videos.

[@mgfarmer1]

I just learned about you from Justin Rhodes , and had to come check you out. I was raised on a dairy farm. Health has taken me out of the work force. so I enjoy following all the home Homesteaders. to see what thy are doing.

[@pollywac1719]

Hi Greg and Judi. Nice to meet you. Looking forward to learning from you!! 💙

[@tealkerberus748]

Fascinating. I think the standard "star" post we use in Australia is a stronger profile than a T, they're more a Y shape, and you can buy boxes of little wire clips to tie the wire on because it actually voids the warranty on the wire to pull it through the holes in the posts - but time is money, and the clips pay for themselves in speed. I've not seen any plastic or fibreglass driveable star posts here, though, that's brilliant - you don't have to use insulated post clips for hot wires!

[@jerryhoops3481]

Just came over from Justin Rhodes KZbin channel. Love your farms.

[@SalLeeHolland]

Thank you for showing people how to care for the animals in the right way. Hopefully people that have them will learn a lot from you. Even though I am a city girl and do not farm, I have a lot of respect for how animals should be cared for. From Southwestern N.Y.

[@mlm7598]

Heard Justin Rhodes talking to you so came over to listen to your channel and have subscribed as I love hearing and knowing all your learned knowledge. Very interesting. We have no homestead but have lived on our place for 45 years beneath the foothills of Rainier. Elk, Deer, some bear etc visit us weekly with lots of other wild fowl and love it. Interesting to listen to the homesteaders and I wish I could go back and start again .........LOL we basically live in a forest not kidding one bit. Enjoying your site!

Great fence Greg works fine timeless fence awesom! thNk you for sharing the info...........

Hey! Could you show the cornerposts in a next video? How do you keep them from flexing?

[@gordonharper9126]

Came over from Justin Rhodes. Hello... looking forward to watching!

[@heartlandHeritageFarm]

Hey I’m new to your channel. Just want to tell you I appreciate your videos. Don’t waste my time on trivial intros and nonsense. Keep up the good work

Welcome to my channel!

[@antoniagarcia8153]

Came from Justin Rhodes Chanel I love your videos

[@CHARLESBW453]

I like to always see big rack deer also but it seems to me that's the only time that I get to see him is that the crack of daylight when they're trying to come through my windshield

[@coldcynic2213]

I thought electric fence was ineffective on sheep due to their wool. How far apart are your wires? Are they both hot or is one a ground? Thanks!

[@rhondaholt76]

SHALOM! Came over from Justin Rhodes channel.

[@brettpayton6286]

Greg, keep up great work!! Where can I find the solid fiberglass poles at. I would love to get my hands on some. Thank you, have a great day.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

We sell them, but we do not ship them

[@PierceWellnessCenter]

Hi Greg! What size Timeless post? 1.5" or 1.75"? What post spacing? Do you think a 2.1" Timeless would work well for a corner instead of the fiberglass post? Thanks for all the videos! Doc

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Either size post will work. The 1.75 diameter is a beefier post and works well for perimeter fencing. We use fiberglass or wood corners.

[@johnfitbyfaithnet]

What do you do to drive the posts?

[@MrSmurf0000]

How do you keep it from grounding out when brush touches the wire?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Never shut your fence off and use a big electric fence charger. The larger chargers actually dry up the sap in the green brush spot that touches the wire. It is the sap that conducts electricity. No sap, no drainage on your fence! When it rains, that is when you really need the big charger.

[@adriennemiller1642]

Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher what brand charger do you prefer; how big is "big", please & thanks

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

@@adriennemiller1642 My favorite charger is the Stafix brand, followed by the Cyclops brand charger. How big is big, well it depends on how big your farm is and how many wires you are running. Give me those numbers and I can give you the size to get.

[@adriennemiller1642]

Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher I have about 1 1/2 acres - perimeter (longest run is 440’, shortest 150’ approx). Was just trying to get a feel for charger size. Thanks for your input!

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

@@adriennemiller1642 You could get by with a 1 joule charger for your fencing. Most chargers are measured in Joules, think of horsepower of an engine. We run a 36 Joule on our biggest farms. One thing that puts pressure on your charger is long rainy periods where all vegetation is soaking wet. It is better to be a little bit overcharged than to buy a smaller charger that struggles in wet conditions.

[@farmerdan2860]

Are you comfortable with 2 strands of high tensile on a perimeter fence for sheep and cattle that is located in an area that would not be adjacent to road frontage? Thanks for the video.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

No i run 5 strands of hi tensile hot wire. You want your animals to stay off the road!

[@alandavis7736]

Dose not the bushes and sticks ground out the electric fence ?

[@reneemiller4478]

Can you use trees as fence posts? Can you just string the wire from tree to tree instead of post to post?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

The trees will grow into your wire and short out your fence.

[@matthewlehman9496]

So when do you use these versus the epoxy rods? What makes you chose one over the other?

[@treykerr1868]

If I went with this fence and have goats, would I just run 4 or 5 wires? I just bought 10 acres and 2 sides are not fenced. The other 2 sides are barbed wire currently. We are going to eventually have some goats, pigs, and miniature cattle.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

With goats I would run 5 wires

[@ganaderiasencilla5596]

Hello Mr Judy Why you just use 2 wires. Ive seen you before using 5.

[@C.Hawkshaw]

Maybe once all his cows are used to the electric, then he can go to 2?

[@levi2954]

I love how the category is listed as "comedy" lol.

[@tsousley18]

Could you provide a link to the high tensile wire you use ? Trying to build fence just like this. Thanks for all the information , learned a lot from your books and videos.

Any more info on someone starting out thinking about sheep, doing what your doing I have no idea how to get water I've never raised live stock are you selling your lambs and beef at auction?

[@carolyngaulin8297]

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Welcome to my channel!! Thanks for subscribing.

[@ALEGLESSLAMB]

Where did you get your Fiberglass Rods and How did you tension your fence? Just Pulling by hand or did you use some kind of tool?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

The sell a product called in-line tensioner. Great for pulling wire tight and economical to buy. Check out Powerflex fence company.

[@terriperry9434]

How do you keep the weeds from shorting the electric? This is the problem I kept having.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Buy a good Stafix or Cyclops charger and do not shut it off. No worry of weeds shorting it out at all.

[@terriperry9434]

Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher thanks!

[@coldcynic2213]

Isn't that a fire hazard?

[@kennethheern4896]

Hi, I would like to know where you get those fiberglass posts

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

We sell them at our farm.

[@GeoffHou]

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher OK thanks. I'm in Europe however and it might be a bit too far/expensive if there isn't a local supplier.

[@MitzaCreek]

Do you still put in the wood corner posts?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

No all fiberglass for me

[@slimpickens0000]

These timeless posts come in any different colors?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Yes 3-4 different colors

[@jtimwest]

How do you keep a charge with the wires going through so much vegetation

[@lukeconway3454]

He has a video on it But basically he just runs it hot all the time and it kills the vegetation and dry vegetation doesn't conducr as well

[@timothydean9407]

Greg, If I understood correctly, you are using this system as a perimeter fence on this property?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Yes it is our perimeter on all of our farms

[@MrJduncan73]

Love the channel! I am a Justin Rhodes subscriber as well. I am looking to improve my outer perimeter with high tensile fence (42 acres). Is this a viable option?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Absolutely, hi tensile is the way to go. Do not skimp on the charger, get a good one. Stafix or Cyclops brands.

[@SLFYSH]

If thats electrified, why are you not concerned about all the brush grinding it out?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

We have a big powerful charger that is never shut off.

[@tomcariano]

Hi greg what spacing are you using between posts?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

30 to 40 feet depending on the terrain

Judging by the spacing-I have to see it to belive it that cattle don't go through yout fence.

We keep bulls in with the sheep flock with 1 ten inch high polybraid. I know its tough to believe but I have videos showing it in action.
