Great video Tom, we always use the loader to push the posts in, it's so much easier.

[@Borninthedenmark]

Did fencing for over a year in NZ - everyone uses pigtail and they're quite more handy. Once you get the hang you can fence like a king!

[@vincentkerins5138]

gonna say the exact same thing ive been putting up fences in NZ since I was about 10 and yea pigtails are definitely the best

[@RockBrigadeCommunityForum]

"The Ginger Guy with the Moustache" always makes me laugh, vs my Dad, My Boss, my Teacher. Great Video as always Tom.

[@timerover4633]

Tom, I appreciate short videos as much as the long ones. Both are quite informing. In the U.S. a farmer would stock that pond with some bluegills, some small catfish or bullheads, and maybe a few carp, and have it for a nice, private fishing spot. You do have to like fish enough to catch and then clean them, however.

[@James48535]

Tom I was brought up round pig tails and orange electric fence wire and the power pack as you call it was a cast aluminium box with interchangeable batteries,another top tip for you your not allowed to ever let Heidi leave as she makes your videos,I love watching Heidi helping you,she's an asset to your farm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PeggyStentzCasey]

Love the days when I get a new video from your farm. Love watching all of them.

[@gerryhayes6385]

Good work Tom and Heidi 😎😎

[@ashleyreading20]

Liking the wood work Tom Heidi done a good job helping you aswell, good team work

[@danielleparker9484]

Tom: “I half know what I’m doing”. Me:” I don’t know anything about what you’re doing”! I’m here for the cows 🐄. Love ❤️ Tom from the USA 🇺🇸

[@ottoneidlinger4938]

Any videos are appreciated Tom. I love all your commentary. Also seeing the sunshine and t-shirts is way better than looking out my window at the blowing snow. Cheers from Syracuse, New York

[@daisychain3136]

Hi Tom,family and farm friends, wanted you to know that while we are on lockdown I've included Tom Pemberton farm live into my home school routine we've seen lots of uploads and my boys are loving your adventures on the farm. Especially how happy your animals are and how much you love your life. Thanks for sharing and a special shout out to Heidi ❤️ from my boys ( they think your great, smashing posts and driving a tractors, when they see you they yell "it's Heidi" x

[@lynnspeight1609]

Love watching your videos here in the USA, North Carolina.

[@archiegoddard2714]

We’ve always used the plastic fence post because they have multiple heights to put the fence at. They are also a bit lighter. The only problem we’ve had with them is some of the fence loops snapping off but that only tends to happen on the older ones. The other benefit to using the plastic ones is that they are completely insulated and also don’t leave your hands covered in rust!

[@diarmuid858]

Galvanised posts don’t leave your hands covered in rust either...

[@Power2FarmingPhotography]

Another fantastic video Tom!! Thank you :)

[@dellawilliams3489]

Seeing Heidi working on your farm is a real boost for me I work horses thought that was hard work but seeing her work wow and having g he get along with everyone

[@charliebriggs349]

Great vid Tom keep up the great work and produce more amazing videos hope you and your family are ok

[@Spikes100]

I’m not a farmer but I used to live at Greenhalgh. I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos during this lockdown. Thanks

[@johnking6475]

Great videos as usual Tom thanks very much

[@MrJoffster]

spot on video bruv gives me a bit of light relief seeing what farming is all about as i drive up and down this fair land in my truck i keep a eye out on the fields etc around me keep up the good work

[@parkera76]

Found your channel about a week ago and have been binge watching to catch up! Fantastic channel Tom you should be very proud of the great content that you produce. You, your dad, Heidi and the others are great ambassadors for an industry thats get more bad press than it ever deserves and what you showcase is purely honest! Kia Kaha from New Zealand! 🐔🐖🐐🐑🐂

[@seamusmurphy2877]

Well done Tom hidei rocking it as usual. Preferably square ones can adjust height

[@andybozek]

Tom, we all enjoy your videos very much it would be so great to have more of your videos. It's nice to see you and your family are healthy in these times.

[@farmt2174]

“Half know what your doing” 🤣🤣🤣

[@banditbeggers533]

Great video mate. I like to see little jobs like this

[@derby1919]

Hi Tom hope this finds you well. With your pond problem, I take it the pipe you have put the fence around is taking water out to the ditch? If so to help stop it glog up with mud etc ... could you put a 90' bend on the end of it then put a lengh of pipe on that to the height you want the pond to get to. This will take water from to top as it floads and not mud from the bottom . Hope this helps! 😎

[@ndrose]

Tom is so patient with Heidi. She is always eager to learn which I’m sure helps

[@darraghdesmond4202]

Keep it up from Ireland

Heidi, you are loved.

[@Ellenllee]

Your videos are always fun,informative and full of family love. So nice to watch the goodness and hard work vis-a-vis all of the negative in the world,thank you.

[@diarmuid858]

We get pigtail posts that are a different style to them, they are made by strainrite and they are amazing! I think they are made in New Zealand

[@crystallewis3849]

I like the little everyday farm life videos mixed in with the bigger ones. They give a fuller picture of farm life and the fact that it's not always big jobs and that the little things are as big a part of farm life as the milking, planting and harvesting.

[@petersutton8565]

Tom that pit won’t be fixed if there is a drain always open like that- as it fills silt will always end up blocking the outlet! Put a length of perforated plastic in with extra holes drilled in it cover in clean large drain stone and the water will always get away plus cows wont knock soil into your outlet!!

[@jamestrippier2669]

Sounds like a tremendous idea!!!

[@daniohara9963]

Yes mate. And seed the banks in grass will put soil washing in.

[@hollys89]

"If it ain't broke don't fix it right?' I think you should stick with what works BUT what do I know you're the farm guy! 😁 LOL much luck with whichever you choose! Have a wonderful day Tom!

[@tomdarbyshire5348]

[@thomashorton4881]

Great video

[@micahmckenna6640]

Its only up 2 seconds😂😂

[@joelheathcote]

I use both plastic posts and pigtails. Pros of the plastic is they are more visible and have more options for height or ability to have multiple strands of wire. Howerer because they are thicker you can't carry as many in your hand, which makes the overall job much longer. They also bend and have bits break off them very easily. Also because they flex alot I find my cows are likely to knock them over easily. Pros to using pigtails are they are thin, so you can carry absolublty loads in your hand. They are much sturdier and more useful for other jobs like propping gates open. I think the colour of wire does not matter too much because its likely they will only miss see it from a distance. If the fence unit is kicking out enough power, they should learn not to risk being too close to it or lean on it (which for some reason my cows love doing) Hope this helps.

[@TheEsmeraldaD]

Heidi at 10.40 - tis easier to saw with the saw pointing downwards than with it straight across

[@nodigBKMiche]

" I know that wire works currently" 😂. Job well done 👍🏼💛

[@rich572]

Use both myself . Plastic stakes are cheap and cheerful but the metal pig tails or the live stacks are good . They don’t make the spikes on the plastics long enough like they used to also the spikes bend .

[@irishcountrylife7322]

You have got some nice carpentry skills Tom

[@devrabiallas1292]

Use the yellow and black and then take pieces of white fabric and tie them occasionally on the fence so the cows can see the boundaries

[@SlipShodBob]

I was asked by a certain agency if we had thought of fencing off a stream through our fields to stop sheep going in as the nitrates had tested higher than usual. As they were informing me a brown object floated by followed by a bunch of toilet roll, the sheep weren't amused when I told them not keep buying the expensive stuff or I'd make them use the tracing paper they made us use at primary school they just ignored me. On another note it was found that someone had been fed up having to empty their cesspool twice a month as the developers has installed a tiny thing had bashed a hole in the side. They now have a digester and the nitrate levels were a lot lower and the last time we were commended how clear the waters were

[@mrfarmerfts6019]

Great video tom farming is the best

I see Moons being a typical golden, rolling in poo and plodging in the nearest bit of water. Had the breed for over 30 years, brilliant dogs

[@cormacbannon7734]

"Not really flat, but yesss" this made me laugh so much😂😂

[@bhensel100]

Great video Tom. The pond doesn't have a stream feeding into it so I'm assuming it's a natural underground spring that feeds it. Keep up the good work.... I love watching your videos

Heidi is awesome! So strong and capable! That's hard work. Good job! I would have hurt myself. 🤕 🔨

[@smallsuffolkfarmer]

We find the curly top ones are abit tall and the shorter cows can duck under the wire so use the plastic type.

[@samgreenaway844]

Good video tom as of always

[@michaelj567]

[@catherineskelly2457]

Tom cut strips of 25 kg meal/fertliser bags and tie them on to the black and yellow fence wire then they will see it we do it on our farm in ireland in county longford

[@richardvega4727]

Nice little surprise this video.I thought I'd have to wait till Friday to see some farm action lol.. I don't work on a farm but from one of your past videos the pigtails some a quicker and easier way to get the job done.Always enjoy a Heidi guest appearance lol.. Good to see moon enjoying a run around

Don’t worry about some videos not being super “exciting “ I’m a fan and watch because of all the jobs you have to do not just the flashy ones cheers from Saskatchewan Canada!!!

[@liamhennessy31]

Tom, why don’t you fence off the yard around the slurry store frm the cows. All you’d need is stakes, you have a post driver, one strand of electric wire and a mains fencer. It wouldn’t cost an awful lot.

[@wallm1206]

Imagine the hassle of lugging around a battery everytime....surely a paddock system with high tensile electric wire around the boundaries would work!!

[@richardwalsh1838]

Really good carpentry skills Tom, great video.

[@solarpoweredfarm8813]

Gallagher tread in post won't tangle like a pig's tail. Geared reels and turbo wire. You will transform your farm and do it easily with good gear. Trust me I'm doing steep hills here by myself and the flats I'm doing twice daily moves. Will put a video up when I have time.

[@diarmuid858]

The Gallagher posts don’t hold up very well. We use strainrite posts and we get about 9 years out of them! Worth the extra few Bob on stony ground as the Gallagher ones just don’t last

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Need to have drone videos of the sea near you ✔️

[@michaelmcnamara7971]

Tom just tie the Black and Yellow wire to the White reel and make it long enough to go across the field sorted..... Also then you will know which works better white or black . ;)

I think pig tails are handier job. Any fear of the cows scratching themselves off your post and rails and knocking them down?

You should invest in a few new reels, Gallagher are very good. Give the cows enough grass for a day and move it on a bit.

Nice vid mate thank you for the entertainment

[@stephenrowlands843]

nice pun at 13.47 !

[@j.bellerbyagriculture2933]

Tom best thing to do but I know it will cost a few penny’s is to fence around the slurry store so you don’t have to shut gates every time you go around the yard when cows are out

[@HappyCamperGourmet]

I use pig tails as they last a lot longer and are good for drier soils as you can tramp on them better (not that you have that problem at the moment). Slightly different design to yours but if you can get ones that don't have a plastic coating on the pigtail, then you get less wear from the wire under pressure during wind and on undulating ground. Gallagher in Australia/New Zealand make some good ones that I like. Also the fence reels that are geared (like in the above brand) are much easier to use. Also look into getting a fence tester, you can run a main wire from the dairy down the centre fence and strip wherever you want and use the tester to find any shorts. Makes life a lot easier (more accurate than a piece of grass). I move four mobs on our farm everyday in about 40 mins. You'll get a lot more out of your grass.

[@trevorcowan5270]

Plastic are better don't get lost in the grass you don't get a shock of them also put in a mains unit and some permanent wires all around farm put an insulated hook on the end of your new twine and hook on fence reel also hooks on fence

[@morganshand1790]

Hi. From nz . Pigtails are alot easier to use and quick. All we use here

[@agrispeclad5593]

Great video 👍. The square posts break when there weathered.use pigtails in my opinion.

[@TheEsmeraldaD]

Maybe the white sticks would make it easier for them to see the black and yellow wire when u do start using it

[@hilariomartinez8220]

She did well hitting them poles

[@TheMathedis]

pig tailes are awesome for big stock like cows, year 2 heifers and beef etc. plastics are better for young stock as you can set the wires lower.you have to angle pig tail posts to be able to get the wire low enough for young stock.

[@scottmcdonald7744]

Hi from sunny county kildare in Ireland. Just tuned in, in the last while. Great videos and have great info on them. Have helped me out already, 👍. I prefer the pig tails as they have more strength in them. The sun affects the white posts after a year or two and causes them to break. Keep up the good job.
