    Seeing you build a fence is a work of art. I saw on another You tube channel that you don't need a trailer to haul a few Cattle panels . Leave the truck tailgate up , put the Cattle panel in the back pushing one end all the way to the front let the center of the panel bow up to the bottom of the tail gate . He said not a good idea to load more than four! I like that you said I'm going to head back to the house and fix up some Supper. That's what us Southern folks say , not Dinner yuck

  • @jlhaslip

    Nice work!
    If that wonky post gets to bothering the cows, here is a technique that might straighten it up.
    1. Drive a 16 inch long 2 x 4 stake about a foot into the ground about an inch off the post. The stake's 4 inch face should run the length of the fence and be on the side the fence is leaning.
    2. Cut a long tapered wedge from a 3 three foot 2 x 4 and drive it between the stake and the fence post so it pushes against the post to straighten it up.
    3. Pound the wedge until it is solid.
    4. Water the post hard so the ground gets good and soaked. Come back a day later and pound some more on the tapered wedge. Repeat until fixed.
    5. Once the post is about plumb, cut off the stake and wedge.
    This has worked for me several times building fence in several types of soil including very rocky dirt. Hope it helps.
    Thanks ☺️ for your videos.

    I have to admire your quest for perfection in building your fence. When you have several miles of fence to deal with it boils down to 'Can a cow go through that?' if not, it's perfect for the chore. LOL BTW if you want to knock out those black berries turn the goats loose in that pen. Keep in mind that goats are the Houdini's of live stock. I have heard that if it doesn't hold water a goat will find the way out too. LOL

    Fence is fence so long as it does the job. A little wiggle just gives it character. Just think of all the materials used over time...rock, brick, wood, metal and even live vegetation. They all worked and few were plumb bob straight; certainly not after a few freezes and thaws. It's all good. Good job, Evan and Rebecca!

    @arlodewald5378 2 года назад

    We put up miles and miles of fence in our day . Dad would say you're more than likely only to put post in once , but farm by it at least 50 or more times . Cutting hay , planting crops , harvesting etc.etc. Having a post out of line , would be the one that gets hit ,
    breaking the equipment or post .
    Plus our cattle would make there travel trails right next to the fence .
    It's amazing how they will rub the out of line post . A person wouldn't think so but more times than not they rub the post that's not in line .
    And Yes ; we cut and farm as close to the fence as possible for several reasons .
    To keep grass and weeds in check for fire , snow , pride , ribbing from the neighbors, Over the years earlier to see if the fence was to break , staples or ties break or come loose ? I'm sure I don't remember all the other reason why ?
