Here from Gold Shaw Farm. THANK YOU for talking with Morgan. I have heard your name before. But did not know you have a channel. Just a note about "breaking your animal. And how important it is for what your animal understand s". Had someone give me a miniature horse one time. I was wanting him. But really did not have a proper space for him. And it was a spur of the minute situation, because the owner passed away. And had animals with no one to care for them. He was use to a hot fence. So just to see, I gave this a shot, and it worked! Horses do not see certain colors. So I ran YARN!!! YEP! YARN! around trees, to give him a spot, till I got his area ready. It worked! Lol. He would not go anywhere near it! I'm sure eventually he would have figured it out. But I just needed to buy some time. So make note of this! If an animal KNOWS HOT FENCE, you can trick them for a time, if you need to! Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge! It is priceless

How does the timeless post hold up in those conditions? I know driving steel posts is a nightmare sometimes I don't see how a pvc post would hold up. Any tips? Probably gonna use black locust posts anyways. Thinking about digging down to bed rock(about 6 inches) and scribing the post to stone, securing it with cement and packing clay around the wooden posts. Also wondering if you have any advice particular to hills. Also any seeding/grazing information you have on outcompeting devil grass(Bermuda) would be appreciated.

i'm just getting going, and I grazed sheep without a perimeter fence in electric netting all season. I do not recommend it, but I think it made sense for me the first year, and it kept them safe from coyotes and fenced. I'm going to start putting in high tensile perimeter to subdivide with poly wire as soon as possible. I'm confident the labor savings will make up for my time and materials quickly. I think my land owners will be more open to it now that they've see us work, tried out meat, and gotten to know us. At first they specifically said no permanent fencing because tenant dairymen have been building fence, and abandoning it to brush for years, and it's a mess. I had a mature ram hop out of my truck when I was loading up my rams to bring them home, and it got serious real quick. It was a pretty nerve racking experience catching him with no perimeter fence on someone else property next to my little town's main black top road. The land owner walked buy talking with a lumber customer, but didn't see the loose ram. Y'all should read Greg's books. Especially Comeback Farms. I don't think I've ever finished a book and started right back up at page one before.

Sorry Greg, it is be cause you know this material inside and out that you probably cannot imagine someone would not grab on to what you say just like that.. but many of these things, for instance the special fence puller and those clips (those btw did not become visible to the viewer), you actually shoud show whilst they are in use, and accompany bits of video that show how these things are actually applied with some extra description and remarks - you doing like a voice-over on it so to say. And besides it having to be well in focus, a thing you do quite right, a thing like such clips need a close-up and showing how those small thingies are mounted should be shown in close-up as a whole. A layman who has never seen anything like that fence puller at all (and thus is gonna search the back of his mind only to come up with examples of things that look a bit like it but are completely different and non-related) is not gonna understand what you attach to what, what part pulls what, where those invisible clips would go, ..and were you saying like five wires at once all in one go??!
