Checking Fences

We checked the high-tensile fence perimeter yesterday. Only one spot had been hit by something - probably a deer - that pushed the strands together close enough to short the electric but no real damage. I just had to slide the strand holder down the fiberglass post and that was it. We saw quite a few pheasants down in the back field and a rabbit in the pasture. Even after a hard winter and lots of snow, our commitment to conservation through our land stewardship pays dividends in the spring! The farm wetlands didn't have any ducks on them, but they are full and flowing and we have seen the ducks and geese using them from when we've been out and around since they thawed.
