Milwaukee M18?!?!? I knew there was a reason I enjoy your channel so much. LOL. Also, my son used that house design for his Eagle Scout Project. Our suburban birds found them immediately. Keep up the good work Guys.
We've been using Lexington Fence Pro Black Latex Fence paint on our post tops after cutting the tops at a 10 degree angle to allow water to run off. Metal tops seem to be one and done, but wouldn't work for our horse pastures, as they are dumb and would figure out a way to cut their face or pull fly masks off itching against it... 👍
Thanks for the video! The best part of all your videos you show exactly what you do. What is the best way to keep a LGD (around 6 months old)pup from escaping? She doesn’t chase any animal even went through lambing perfectly too. She’s really good with every animal we have pigs, sheep and lambs, chickens, cats, and cattle. She stays on our property but likes to protect them all though. She goes to each section to protect them all. We do have a LGD with our sheep 24-7. She doesn’t escape the 5 high tensile wire, but she climbs over our wood gates.
You may have to put a long lease on the pup the same distance away from your hot wire fence. Let it be just close enough that the pup can't go through the fence all the way and get hung up. The idea is for the pup to touch the hot wire ( going to electricity school I call it). It will help them learn to respect the wires instead of running right through it.BE SURE to have shade, and or a portable doghouse there for it.
Just a thought - what about having a higher up line protecting the phone jack spot but allow sheep to graze under that line if they are less prone to rub. I don't know if you will have the sheep on that farm, but that may be an idea to keep the grass shorter in that exclusion area.
Put Ivermectin or Cydectin on your boots. Also, during the warmer months stay out in the open, do not go under oaks or cedars, the ticks like those trees and drop on you. Stay out of wet low spots too.
@@ozarkrefugee No you'll track that stuff on your pastures and kill soil life there are other natural ways to deter and kill ticks. Actually you mentioned cedars, cedar oil deters and kills ticks. There are other natural remedies using cedar oil and other essential oils the recipes are listed all over the web just search for them.
If you char the outside edge of any section of post that goes underground, it will double it's life. It will take the water 2x as long to rot a post with a sort of hardened shield around the inner wood.
Why not just cut the pieces of metal the exact size of the top of the post and screw them on top? Would be much faster and easier and still deflects water
Hedge posts will last a lifetime. You can put tar on top of your wooden posts too to seal them.
Congratulations on the rain. It's been awhile in Central Alabama.
Very good Public Health Announcement, Greg. You have a very smooth way with words. My comments are more to the point. :)

God is good! Amen!
Greg keep tapping the roof. I’ve seen galvanized tin w tar take care
We used coffee cans back when they were metal.

Greg congrats on the rainfall! Too bad you can't graze your ditches along the road that's some good lookin' forage by your fence.

Haven't been out to check the rain gauge yet, but we had a toad strangler last night at the 63/22 junction.
3-4 inches at Rucker, depending on what farm your at. Tore down some buildings on the neighbors with the heavy wind
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher I had right at 3 inches when I looked
We have some houses, but I think we just still only have barn swallow, as far as I know!

Why didn't the chicken cross the road?? Haha. Thanks for the videos!
Do you curve your perimeter fence at all? Or are you are making a bunch of straight, shorter runs? Thanks Greg!
I've seen on videos some people cut the top of the post at an angle so the water won't stand on top
That will certainly help
What do you guys do about ticks and chiggers?
Put Ivermectin or Cydectin on your boots.

Hmm, most rotted posts I find are rotted off about 4 inches into the ground.

Carnivore 💪🏻 Diet.... All the way
Amen!
Where can I purchase the Greg Judy 🍖 meat?
If you find out let me know?😁
Why not just cut the pieces of metal the exact size of the top of the post and screw them on top? Would be much faster and easier and still deflects water
I did that 25 years ago. The water followed the screw hole into the top of the post and rotted them out. Not doing that again!!!
Did you use those hex head self tappers with rubber washers last time?
Consider investing in a tripod for your phone/camera, so you can be hands free.
