[@paulvanhouts3365]

Hi Al, just a thought about grounding and welding with bearings in between. When young I grew up among farms and helped out with general stuff, including welding repairs. As kids we were welding a repair to a bailer, grounded on the body and started welding at a few places that needed repair. The old man went very mad on us saying that we could cause the grounding through bearings to leave spurs which ultimately shorten bearing life. Ever since then grounded on the work piece directly. Love the new cattle.

[@anneerickson6347]

Cleaning my Dad’s truck and tractor cab was my job as a kid on the farm. ❤

[@RobertKohut]

You should ground your welder on the piece you are welding to prevent the current travelling through the bearings on the shaft and possibly arcing and pitting the bearings. @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1305">21:45</a>

Your fencing needs to be more permanent for these larger animals.

[@andyrobinson339]

[@Zombie-adventures]

Yep, the cows are checking the fence already.

[@marcchapman4875]

Al when you attached the ground on your mower you sent current thru the bearings of the drum, you should of attached the ground to the drum it's self

[@samvalentine3206]

Good observation and point. With the electrical ground going through bearings, it can damage the balls in the bearing or the race if there is any arcing. Arcing could cause a pit or slight bump on the bearing surfaces and reduce the life of the bearing.

[@danabbott2398]

You ran your welder ground through the bearings of the flail rotator. Connect the ground directly to the rotator so you don't possibly cause an arc in the bearings which will cause them to fail later.

[@StuartMitchell-qm4kg]

Good luck to you too on your new adventure

I don't understand how that fencing will hold cattle in! After George, I would have used cattle panels( but I know I am not you!) 😊❤

[@gbentley8176]

Having more cattle with that fencing is worrying.

[@4Classie]

The Family Bull George fell over a Cliff; All Farmers, 100% all, know that to have Livestock they are also going to have dead-stock, cause livestock are not watched 24/7/365 like an infant child is ! The Livestock prefer having boundaries, ( even the Goats don't roam far ) it's a matter of keeping them supplied and happy, only when animals go into heat do they seek a mate, but even then the animal is somewhat confined, Al is lucky to not have neighbors with greener-grasses that entices ! The fence is fine, it is how Homesteaders farm, only Commercial Farming operations require zoo like confinement and they sacrifice for Quantity over Quality, homesteaders animals get ( by-far ) better treatment, and better ( by-far ) health care, because a commercial Farm will just kill the weak, to protect the proof base !

[@79PoisonBreaker]

​@4Classie in winter electric fence is not reliable where snow stays on the ground. I am sure works fine in the south but not where real winter visits.

[@StoneKathryn]

@@79PoisonBreaker Many permaculture farmers have a winter area for the cattle. Joel Salatin has his cattle in a barn on deep bedding for the winter. Justin Rhodes does this too. That type of set-up might be coming to Lumnah Acres in the future. Have a great 4th of July weekend!

If you watch Justin Rhodes they use the electric netting to keep their cows in pastures. Many times the cows will respect a single strand of electric fence. Jason of Sow the Land uses a single strand on his farm. It works well since he moves his cattle around on the farm just like Justin Rhodes does. Have a great 4th of July weekend!
