Spring Fence Work

The ground has thawed enough to start working on some fence issues. Last fall we put in some new posts and replaced some others in our winter paddock areas. Thanks to our friends who were out pheasant hunting on the farm we were able to really expand our winter paddock area up into our front grove. Today we're digging up some electric fence wires that connect between gate openings for our high-tensile electric fence. Our high-tensile electric fence is based on an all fiberglass post system. This is how we're able to do rotational grazing for our pure bred black Angus cows. It has worked very well since it was put in several years ago and I would highly recommend that anyone putting in a new fence should consider it. We've had deer run into the fence at high speed and both the deer and the fence were shaken but not broken.
