Perimeter fence construction through water gap creek crossing on ram farm.

- Perimeter fence construction through water gap creek crossing on ram farm. We have all the infrastructure in place to secure the actual steel roofing water gap crossing. We have this same crossing style on another farm that has performed perfectly for 22 years. The water and logs just flow under the metal crossing while not hanging up any debris. We never have to clean out our creek crossing. For more grazing info check out my new book " How To Think Like A Grazier" on our website: greenpasturesfa...
Tip from a crane rigger, when you use clamps on steel cable the nuts are on the long side. Yours appear to be on the short side. During rigger training, the saying was "a dead man needs no nuts", that saying has stuck in my mind for 50 years.
"Never saddle a dead horse" the saddle goes on the live end.
Good catch
Greg never steal those young men's thunder. He always give them credit for their ingenious ideas... eg... Isaac sawing THROUGH the post
Really want to see this finished. Thank you.
Looking forward to seeing finished product. Those projects feel good when done right. I remember cutting bois d'arc posts and wondering why my chain went dull quickly and why I was seeing sparks fly..that is tough stuff. Thanks for sharing.
The spring time restlessness is setting in. Snow is still knee deep, but melting a little each one of these 30 plus above zero sunny days we've been having. Looking forward to no snow and warmer weather. Thank you have a great day.
Great use of wood found on the property and reuse of old metal roof. .
Your boys did good on that cable, never saddle a dead horse.
Looking good Greg
Good to see that completed. We're using beatup panels suspended similarly for cattle. Let the and debris thru.
Lot of good idea's here.
Thanks. I really appreciated the advice for putting a post at 45 in low spots. I happened to need that information on a creek I'm fencing out on one side. Works great!
Greg. Thanks so much for this video. I will be redoing a mile of fence on our land this summer. I appreciate all the comments and details. It doesn’t feel so overwhelming now.
Thank you for the video.
I can picture from your description how this will look Greg but it would be great to see it when done. Sounds like a pretty clever idea. Just wondering though, can the rams just push underneath like the water? Guessing it's pretty heavy so unlikely but I thought it might be possible.
It does indeed feel great to get projects done. Unfortunately for us here in NSW Australia, I can't even get in to our property right now due to flooding. Slight problem with having an inadequate creek crossing however, the roads are under too so a good crossing wouldn't even help right now. Should go down in a week or so and then back to the projects ;-)
Cheers for sharing as always Greg.
Duncan.
Thanks for sharing your situation in Australia with us. That’s a lot of rain!!!
That sounds like a check valve. Brilliant
Isaac is brilliant too
Been traveling for work In SW Pennsylvania. And notices what looked like PEARS had fallen from trees along to roadside. Coworkers tell me they are OSAGE ORANGE. I’ve heard you say they are excellent fence material too 👍
Those creeks crossings can be a challenge that’s for sure. Some of the places that I helped farmed was brutal. When I put up a fence, I have 2 low spots that is probably 30 yards wide one spot and the other half that. It drops down 2-2.5 feet. I’m trying to figure out how I should do it. It only gets a lot of water in the spring when the snow melts but the last few years it hasn’t really flooded that much. I think partially the reeds canary grass in that area is 6-7 feet tall so water slows way down. In the past it was continuous grazed down to nothing. I was thinking of putting cattle panels in that area and keep the high tensile fence right above the cattle panels so I have electric fence all around my property. I have the cattle panels already. What do you think? Thanks again for all your videos!
Nice Job on the fence. When you lease a property do you have a written contract that specifies all the things you are going to do and what control you have over the land as well as the owners responsibilities?
Keep us updated on this 👍
Any tips for crossing a 20ft deep gulley with perimeter fence? My expensive idea is to turn that gulley into a pond lol…
Building fence looks so simple-but it’s Not!
Having lived where rocks were a plenty and free, building a stone gabion in those low spots is another way to hold a fence down...
That sounds clever.
When you said you used a “digger” to put the posts in that rocky soil, I wasn’t sure what you meant by a “digger.” Would you please let me know what a “digger” is? Thank you, Greg.
post hole digger or auger mounted on the tractor
Can anyone link the finished video. I cant find it.
Do you concrete your posts in, tamp dirt, or tamp rock in?
To dirt back into hole
Never saddle a dead horse
How to your turkey friends get over or under that fence?
They go under
Will you have any st Croix lambs for sale this spring?
We sold out back in January
I was looking at some pasture land leasing and they wanted $1.25 per head per day cattle. To me that seems so expensive that it's not even worth the endeavor. Is this because real estate prices are so high?
A place I worked at 23 years ago charged $1per head per day to pasture cattle. $3 per head per day if the cattle were in the barn.
@@ryanforbes3021 I don't understand it, I guess the only way I will comprehend those costs is to complete a business analysis To see if it's possible to do.
@@scottbenzing1361 yes, you'll have to look into it to see if the numbers work for you. I haven't kept up with pasture rates, but if it was $1/day over 20 years ago and now its $1.25/day...a penny a year isn't much of an increase is what I'm saying I guess. I'm also not paying to pasture my cows somewheres, we have our own pasture. You have to do what works for you.
🤓🖖👍👌✌😎
Would have been nice to see the actual fence rather than 11 minutes of story telling.
