We worked on the 2 strand electric fence that will keep the cattle out of the wooded area designated for wildlife. This is called "access control."
Trenches were dug between the poles that are designated for gates. We are taking the electric under the gates so we can have continuous electricity to the next paddock. We are placing coded wire in electrical conduant.
These are the spring gates we are using between the paddocks.
We are using steal posts for our line posts inbetween the corners 30 to 50 feet apart.
This is the "spinning jenny" we are fastened to a piece of plywood and put on the back of our fourwheeler. Can't do the job without the "jenny!"
Below are two examples of fencing techniques. Both are straight line pulls. One using steel fence posts and one using the tree as a line post.
Rain stopped us for a while today. It poured for about 30 minutes. It was extremely humid but it made the fence posts easier to drive.
Attaching the snap pin-locks to keep the wire from touching the posts.
Hopefully by next year we will be able to increase our herd by practicing intensive grazing techniques! We are a total A.I. operation!
After a hard day of work.....This is our view of paradise!
