to keep a well maintained fence line....put it up against the forest and in 3 years we'll have the forest grown up into the fence...sacrifice about 1/2 acre of a 35 acre paddock and you eliminate the nightmare of spraying...trees encroaching and more....ease of maintenance and repair my friend

@StoneyRidgeFarmer4 жыл бұрын
Woven wire parameter fence is best in my opinion...it's not a psychological barrier...it's a physical barrier to keep our livestock contained. Where we live is populated...not like Polyface (Joel Salitan) or Greg Judy's place that's way out in the middle of nowhere. We'll have a "hot" line ran acrosss the top and in high traffic areas we'll have one at about 30 inches. We will mobstock rotationally graze by tapping into the parameter hot wire and running poly electric cross fences...just like the other boys ya see here on youtube...but with Josh's touch. Safety is priority....many a cow, calf or sheep or goat has pushed it's way under, over or through high tensile electric .....just ask anyone who's used 5 strands or even 7 strands of high tensile. We need a physical barrier to keep our cattle away from the local roads.....So...the answer is safety...for our livestock...and for passers bye. How horrible would I feel if I had thrown together a fence that wouldn't contain my cattle...and a state trooper calls me in the middle of the night to tell me a mini van just hit one of our cows and killed 4 children and a mother.......THAT'S WHY MY BROTHA...this is not the end of our fencing...this is just the start...the parameter.

You know you can solve the problem of the gate by putting some soil with retaining blocks to bring the grade up closer to the fence. If you put the retaining blocks by the opening end post on the lower end and then just grading some soil you can even take that from within the pasture area or anywhere else on the farm just move it in with bucket loads on any of your tractors or skid steer. If you have concerns about stepping off and falling down over the retaining blocks, you could put up any short segment of fencing including a four board fence with a post inside and one outside and then run your boards or slats through the tornado wire fencing creating a small T on the open side of the gate which would have no effect on your fence height or gate height. Hopefully I’ve explained it well enough for you to understand, whether or not you do it is up to you of course. Wooooo!

this holds pretty tight...more likely to pull the fence post out of the ground than to slide up the post my brotha

Wish you would have shown all the processes/steps of hanging the fence. I know it was complicated but it would have helped the viewers so that when they get in a pickle, they would know how to fix it.

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I'm sorry. I meant hanging that last gate. It was hard because the ground wasn't level. 40 videos on fencing?!! I don't know why I enjoy watching fences being made but I do. I'll check out more of your videos. Looking forward to seeing your new pasture finished, too. WOOO !!

The fence looks great. It's a lot of work but it will keep animals where they belong.

1443 use magnet to pick up ends so animals cant eat or step on them, murphys law. 226 make a big dirt bump under gate at high spot. I use one layer of patio blocks under gravel then top with dirt. Hilti cordless, you wont look back.
