NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE WHEN USING ELECTRIC MOVABLE FENCING!

[@Wilddaisyhomestead]

Oh I am so glad you just posted a video. I am excited to sit and watch this while I eat my breakfast.

[@katherinebragg9704]

The cowgirls are looking quite portly, lol. Great job working with the kiddos. Thats so good for them learning all these different skills. I raised my boys on a farm and there wasnt many skills they didnt learn. So rewarding. Good job Mom and Dad!

[@Cookingevie]

I really enjoy watching your videos while having my breakfast. And I listen to your podcasts while I'm cooking or cleaning. You always put out great content and yours and your family's personalities are so warm and friendly. Other KZbinrs sometimes make me feel like I'm watching celebrities which feels a little intimidating. Y'all have a way of making your viewers feel like we're part of your friends circle and we're just chitchatting. Thank you so much for being so open, humble, and personable. This is my number 1 favorite KZbin channel.

[@Cookingevie]

Also, if y'all have a PO Box, please share it with us? I'm a crafter and I don't know about others but I'd love to make and send y'all something for the new baby and for all your kiddos! Maybe some winter hats for your cold PA winters!

[@Homesteadyshow]

Evie... Sure do! email me at [e-mail] and I will send you the PO Box! Thanks!

This video was really helpful! We have smaller livestock that we run through our pasture with movable electric netting but we just brought home our first calf that we will be using electric tape for. Lots of great tips you gave for me to think about as we move forward with our calf- thanks! And yes, hardworking farm kids are most certainly gems!

[@mariaolson5808]

Awesome video! My husband and I bought a farm a few months ago and bought a small herd of Dexter cattle last month. We have been using Gallagher electric fencing and just made the 2nd move from winter pasture to spring grass. We have multiple types of posts and insulators for the different type of fencing already on the property. As we move them we are realizing that some areas would make sense to permanently cross fence but others will always be temporary. Cheers!

[@TheNastyBastard]

Tip...... buy a post driver.. drive a steel corner post first then gate posts... string wire.....Then infill with other posts.Have your gates close to your road access so you move sock, mobile water or shade with ease.

[@Homesteadyshow]

need one so bad!

[@TheNastyBastard]

@@Homesteadyshow LOL I dislocated both shoulders using a sledge hammer above my chest ..... missed the post... now i can't lift my lift right arm above my head..... Post hole driver for the win... Tip put it on the post laying down then lift into the right position post an all

[@SoilMatesofGeorgia]

One hit with the post driver will equal about 20 hits with that little sledgehammer and is a lot safer

[@Wilddaisyhomestead]

That spring wire is awesome... Brilliant!

[@TheMacs1]

Enjoyed the video. Great drone coverage. We rotational graze with permanent and temp fencing. Great wisdom. Thanks!

[@Wilddaisyhomestead]

I ready love the insight and tips you have. If I am ever able to move up to a larger homestead, even though it would be on a smaller scale, your ideas make sense and have the potential to save me and others not only time but money as well. Thank you so much. Have a fabulous day

[@Rangband1]

Man get you a t-stake driver, slips over the stake and has handle on both sides. Saves soooo much time!

Buy a tee post driver and puller!

I totally would have used a stick 🤣 thanks for the warning guys😉

[@currentlyunderabridge]

You guys should get a post driver.

Or use a tractors front loader to make it really easy.

@@taylorburch7761 Oh, I have always just used a post driver. I didn't know you could do that!

[@mountainryder8]

You can get a stake pounder at Tractor Supply to make the metal staking easier!

[@GoodLizardlicks]

Nailed it. getcha one of these: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-in-x-9-in-x-24-in-Metal-Fence-Post-Driver-901147EB/205960880. Sooooooo much back breaking labor saved, it's easily worth the price.

[@territn8871]

I love your Jersey girls!! 🐂🙂 If I had the space, and was younger, I would want a miniature Jersey just like Luna and Lady Bug! They are such sweet cows. I really enjoy your podcast! See you next time!

[@roscorude]

Yup unwinding wire that's tangled is time consuming and frustrating. Spools are best a think, at 40.00 each it's a time saver. If you dont have spool winders use a bucket and sort of coil it into bucket, when you pull it out do it kinda slow so you don't ball it up. Some shorter runs are good to have sectioning off pastures short of buying spools. En arche en ho logos

[@philsroad7959]

Love the dog too

[@funnyfarm5555]

If you are going to use fiberglass posts; include a pair of gloves for everyone. In two or three years the the post will do what is called silvering and if you grab the post barehanded you will get a handful of fiberglass slivers. Best way to get the slivers out out is a soapy wash rag and time.

[@linseycollins7424]

Fence post pounder.they work great

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

There is a fence post "hammer", like a pipe with a welded piece on one end. Handles on both sides! Work great! They have them at tractor supply.

[@graciemay6660]

Love your vids

[@angeange7639]

I really dont like fencing days on the farm... I liked watching you do it way better😂

[@candicechristensen1753]

Do you not have a post pounder or will it just not work with the type of posts you're using? I can't tell from the video

[@fionajane56]

Are you going to hay some of this property? Is there someone you could share crop with? To run a hot wire over rock I set step in posts in 5 gallon buckets of sand. You can also use concrete in the buckets and make them permanent weighted posts if you have areas that you cannot drive posts into and will need to have fence over.

[@Homesteadyshow]

Great Tip Fiona

[@qualityassurance9523]

where is the link or name for the posts that are not plastic? Thank you for posting

Your new pup whose name you haven’t said yer is really growing fast she’s nearly got both ears up

[@kimcouch8285]

#askhomesteady how many acres due you recommend for a cow? Also how much hay do you go threw ? TIA

[@SoilMatesofGeorgia]

KIM COUCH depends how much you plan to subsidize feed. General rule is one and a half acres per now. You can make that smaller if you have good soil and grass and forage. Also, even if you have one cow on 1 1/2 acres, you can do rotational grazing with it for healthier soil and grass.

[@kimcouch8285]

Ty that’s what I was thinking

[@roscorude]

@@SoilMatesofGeorgia one cow is terribly lonely...a herd animal... get it some mates...sheep, goat, llamas, mule, chicken, iguana...anything!

[@SoilMatesofGeorgia]

roscorude I completely agree. Herd animals shouldn’t be alone.

[@fanciterv]

Please get a post pounder!!

[@georgebaker2405]

Hey friend you may want to invest in a metal post driver,beats a hammer all day long and twice on Sunday,check Tractor Supply Co,i see you have hammers and rubber mallets but a T post driver will save tons of time,you may have this item already,i didn't see you using it so thought id mention it just in case you didn't have it already...just a thought

[@RajTarek07]

First view and comment Very nice

[@raymondamaral8602]

You need a t-post driver

[@thedragonslay3r]

#askhomesteady what do you think about movable electric fencing for chickens? I've seen some others recommend it as a barrier against predators.

[@thedragonslay3r]

And it is funny that you are called "papa dragon". My nickname is The Dragon Slayer! haha

[@davelawson2564]

good idea if u want to move them around pasture

[@alecmeyer2500]

#Askhomesteady Can we see your grazing plan on paper?

[@funnyfarm5555]

I just took a legal notepad and paced off my field, then converted the paces to feet and then just figured out the best way to put up the fence and irrigation (different spray heads go different distances and on the end one you want one that you can set the degree of radius). We have a county ordinance that says you are not allowed to let your irrigation water go onto county right of way. I made mine with individual grazing area with a center aisle way that I could also drive the tractor down.. i could also restrict them every now and then to just the aisle way. This is called rotational grazing and is really important if you have Horses. Water is automatic 100 Gal tub at barn with goldfish for mosquito control and the goldfish eat the algae.
