Best way to treat to hamburgers😅
Loved the water system, it's super clever. Will try to implement it at my farm. Thank you!
Can you run the wire continuous around the corner or do you need to tie off in each direction?
Its better to tie off, unless you are doing a very short fence. It never pulls evenly around a corner so its hard to get tight.
Thank you ❤❤❤😊❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤❤😊❤
Thank you for sharing this
Yry metall scraps to make a fence
Nice...
no docking tails?
No need to
What spacing would you suggest for a perimeter fence?
Depends what you are trying to do. That fence was 14' spacing by main road and 16' everywhere else. Just cows in a low traffic area and flat ground, you could easily go to 30'+
Keep me in mind for next year!
I love your videos … I had to chuckle when you blew air into the lungs lol. Tomorrow we do our first sheep ourselves … and goat!
Nice build. I’ve been collecting old cotton trailers for sheep shade. Working out some design ideas. I’m wondering how the shade cloth is holding up in wind?
Usually the shade cloths do pretty good, the eyelets tear out of the corners eventually but you can just ball it up and tie it tight with a string.
So exciting! What a wonderful beginning!
Will you need to bottle feed one of the twins?
I know this was April 14 but its crazy how much greener it is in tulsa
We are really, really dry.
Why isn't the mom letting the little white baby goat nurse? Every time it walked up to her to nurse, she would walk away and not let baby close enough to get latched onto a teat to feed. Why?
A good ewe won't let her lambs over eat. They will also discourage eating when they are nervous and want to be able to run. She didn't like that I was that close to her
@farmtough Aaaaahhhhhh. I see. I just wondered because the other 2 were nursing and she let them nurse until the other one came up to nurse and she shook them off and moved away so it couldn't nurse. So I just thought she was rejecting it for some odd reason. 🤔 But I'm not a goat farmer. LOL 😆. Thank you very much for answering my question.
The back, please the back.
The ewes look great!
Tim and Heidi! Oh my goodness! I miss y'all!!!
Gymn got nothing on you. Much respect
good comparison, thanks for sharing. We went through the learning cycle with cheap posts. Get the NZ made stuff, it is worth the few extra dollars. I filled up a big garbage bin with broken and bent knock offs available from local big box farm supply store. In fact, all of there electric fencing supplies were mostly junk (chargers and anything made of plastic especially) and have been replaced.
Moving farms is very hard work.
Where do you get the kiwitech posts?
Kencove sells them
Kencove only sells the parts, you have to assemble. No big deal unless you have never had kiwitech posts before and don't know what you need. I'm lucky, we have another farm near us that is a dealer.
Fiberglass posts gets splintered over time. The sun guard coating wears off overtime.
I tried the Obrien and the poly wire kept popping off those clips. I think the Cavs were running under the fence knocking it off so I’ve stuck with the Gallagher step ins
Would love to see your video of you making a post puller!
Great looking flock.
What are your options for selling sheep? Are you only selling at the sale barn?
private treaty most of the time, sale barn for the old bony ones.
That will work.
I sure loved my Jersey milk cows I had
Nothing beats the ole tombstone buzzbox powering through rust and grime 😎 I like this content, thanks for sharing
What part of Kansas are you in ? My wife and i will be moving to baldwin city in the next few months
Near Salina
Your work and projects are always well planned...
Awesome. More content please
This is a tremendous saving for form folks...
Im about run electric fence and i appreciate this video thank you
Thank you
I use old bed frames all the time. They are harder steel, so heat them with a torch where your gonna weld and let them cool down. Then weld and you won't have any problems. Keep up the good work buddy 👍
I highly highly highly suggest you watch a few hours of Greg Judy friend. All love from the Salina area
Yeah, Greg is great. Talking to him about sheep is what gave me the confidence to train our sheep to one wire. Super cool guy!
Yeah you do Tim! If anyone, it's gonna be you with the horse power to do it haha. I knew you were gonna be able to get it haha
I gotta keep it up so I don't get soft :)
Like your bale handledr- clever desigh and works!
That is a very cool contraption that bail enroller I’d make one like that if I thought I could actually feed with my truck. Are those 5by 6 s? Surprised you can even roll those you got some grit I’ll give you that
Yeah, the unroller is super handy and way cheaper than a tractor! Yes, 5'x6's, that's about all you can find around here.
Happy new year. Much blessings great content 🙏
Feeder looks fine...always good to use what you have around...
Our dogs cause problems on big transfers, too.
Yeah, there is a reason Hank has a 20' chain dragging behind him!
Hey Tim! Good work my friemd.
Thanks!
Beautiful condition on your sheep!
Agree -it always pays to allow for a short...gonna happen once in a while
What mineral program do you use? They look great.
We give them Fertrell cattle choice, and salt from a mine here in Kansas. Used to feed kelp too, but we weren't able to get much this year.
We take breaks from the fertrell every couple months because it has copper in it and sheep are really slow and getting rid of excess copper. They can get copper poisoning if they have to much.
The sheep look really good!
