No fence will contain Mr Judy’s enthusiasm 😃
So true, LoL.................
That's funny, bless you
Great video Greg!
As a retired farmer I love seeing your cattle out grasing
Can't wait for more on building fence. Thanks Mr. Greg for all these wonderful videos.
Perfect timing Greg,was just at on pasture looking for fencing articles.
Thanks
I want to thank you for the teaching/educational series to help myself and so many others for sound and progressive ideas on our farms. Keep it coming. Pray blessings to you and yours.
You make it sound so easy to understand...can’t wait for the grazing school.
Currently planning the installation of our new solar powered electric fence, your videos are a massive help! Thanks from Scotland :-)
"massive" is a good word for the help he gives
I Learn something from EVERY video, Mr. Judy!!! And you are right, appearance is everything.
Thank you for sharing and God Bless!!! Jay.
Absolutely very interesting and helpful lesson! All respect for your work , time and pasión to teach people the right way to do things in this business
Man I can't wait to see that sign in person!
I may never be able to have a farm, but you are still my favorite guy to listen to. I am starting to think about learning enough to be a grazing farmer. (I guess that's what you're talking about.) Thank you for your great information.
I just found this man on youtube ...he is good ! I really mean it . Very good with what he does .
I’m not a farmer but I enjoy your channel!
The thumbnail makes it seem like you are that 80-year-old farmer who has seen it all done it all and is impressed by no one lol.... I'm a huge fan and watch your daily videos almost as soon as they come out. I hope to see you in an upcoming grazing school
Awesome content, as usual, Mr. Judy! Thank you.
Great information! Looking forward to the corner post video.
I like what I'm hearing Greg and looking froward t the series. Thanks
Another great video. So much info. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the excellent video.
Thank you for telling how far you can space the posts. I’ve been looking at timeless but wasn’t sure of an estimated cost due to spacing.
Great info..
Have a good evening ⛄⛄⛄
Like the sound effect, look at that end screen, people will watch for hours! Go get em Greg
Kidd Family Farm: I could not have done the end screen without you!! Thanks for your very helpful tips.
Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher most welcome. I have been watching your videos for maybe 10 years. As a city boy I had no idea what I was doing. Your information is so very helpful. Now all in one place!You have a gift to teach that is very much appreciated.
The best rancher in the world just hasta have the best fence in the world. I might buy one of those posts and I don't even have a need for one!!
Ken Anklovitch mr Judy should start a fencing company
Great video thank you Greg!
Wow those really look like a good post!! And really cool insight on the single wire cross fence!!
One question I have is in the Dakotas here we get grass fires now and then and wondering how they stand up in a grass fire?
Appreciate you taking time to share your experiences!
Thank you
Amazing content !
Wish we had them here in Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for the great videos, I'm glad I found you online. What spacing do you recommend for perimeter line posts using 2" Timeless posts, with and without stays?
Yep, it happened to me with the two wire fence.
Great video Greg! What kind of ohms are we looking at with these posts? Thanks!
Can you use Wedge-Loc Corner/In-Line Brace kits with these to build your corners like regular t-posts or are they to flexible?
Very imformative. The plus of this video is you are cute as a button. All respect if there is a Mrs.
definitely great products. But there aren't any resellers in my area. To buy online shipping costs $79 for twenty 1.75" T-posts. So for now I have to get creative until I get buy a much larger quantity.
Hi Greg. Do you have a video yet on how to set up the electric fence to the home unit? I’m also thinking about solar - Stafix has 9 different solar setups; curious which you would suggest.
Hey Greg. Do you put the T facing in or out? Where does the wire go?
It happened to me. Horses fenced knee high single strand. Grass gone, they walked, dark night, when I hit one it rolled and flattened my truck's cab, landed in the bed. Windshield glass to my face. Since she was also a college girl, I didn't sue, but I made her fix the neighbor fence that I crashed through
Question. If you used this fencing system. What happens when you come to your driveway gate? How do you mesh the metal gate with this fence system?
Hi Greg,
I have a question about what you recommend to use as far as fence posts for California where we are in constant danger of having fires pass by and destroy our fences and property. What would you recommend to use as fence posts that will stand the test of time against fires.
Thank you for your time and response. Godbless.
Víctor R.
Great vid! And thanks for the wire advise on interior fences. Would love to see a “how to” on building strong corners for a Timeless fence!
We are making a video on building the strongest H brace available. Wait till you see it, awesome unmatched strength and beautiful!!!!
Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher Awesome! I am excited to see it. As someone just starting in on farm life, your channel has already saved me so much of headache and trouble - I cannot thank you enough.
Just saw they have step in posts too. Could you get a couple of them to show us!
On step-in posts, Obrien posts are the very best on the market. Kenkove fence company carries them.
I wonder how these work with frost?
Of you also drive them in at 25 degrees it will also add more spring back if something lands on the line, who says you have to make everything straight and square when it comes to fences for animals? I some times make circles or octagons with my fence
HI Greg, love and appreciate you sharing your valuable wisdom! So 30 inch height single wire on paddock divisions for cattle but what would be your recommendation for hair sheep paddock division ? height and how many wires for temp pastures already inside perimeter fence?
I am coming out with a sheep fence video detailing how we trained our sheep to 1 hot polybraid wire.
Wow. That was a good video. Greg Judy is information dense. Not dense, mind you. LoL.... Just the opposite! There are lots of information sources around. But good ones? Few and far between. It's an Easter egg hunt out here to find the great ones! I know gold when I see it! What a pleasure to watch and learn!!! Thanks, Greg!
P.S. I was just recently thinking about fencing and energised high tensile wire. I came up with the idea of using 6" dia wood posts as insulators and drill through the posts to pass the wire. But wood rots over time, even pressure treated, probably is more expensive than these plastic posts and more work too. It sure would look nice though. But yeah, probably wouldn't pass some reality check or other. So I'm much more happy to be exposed to this great fencing system!!! :)
@@3Sphere There's a saying in New England that you cut black locust posts long so when it rots after 40 years in the ground you can flip it over and bury the other end and get another 40 years out of it. You have to split them because they often have a hollow pithy center that will rot the post if they are put in the ground whole. I think black locust posts, with galvanized nails holding on porcelain insulators would probably make a longer lasting fence than plastic, and look better too, but it would take a lot longer to put in, and be an nightmare to take out if a land owner wanted me gone, so I'm going with Mr. Judy's recommendation. There are some locust, and white mulberry posts around our farm that out lived the barb wire that they were put in to hold up.
@@swamp-yankee That's interesting Joe. I love Black Locust even though it's a tad brittle. I have milled a lot of it and it makes very pretty lumber. In fact, I have a whole bucket of B.L. seeds from my trees here that I am going to plant in a grove in a corner of my new property. It grows fast. Should be ready to mill in only 20 years... My retirement project... LoL... I can cut 'em off flush and they'll be ready to harvest again when my kids need a retirement project! But I was in Montana, in the back country and saw gnarled, crooked little cedar posts in miles of barb wire fence line that a local told me were at least 60 years old and they still showed no signs of wanting to go away any time soon! There's so much 'old' knowledge just waiting to be re-discovered!
Those wood posts will ground out your fence, absolutely do not use them. Especially in a rainy period, every wood post is a ground rod, your animals will be gone!!!!!!
Both Black Locust and Mulberry make excellent corner posts, pretty much rot proof. The best wood post ever is the almighty Hedge tree. Texans call them Bodark trees. They never rot and are the strongest corner that you can put in the ground. I would never use them for line posts though, to labor intensive and you need an insulator for every wire attached to the post.
What would be a ruff cost for 10 acres be to run the 2" also how long do they come in would it be possible to run a 8 foot fence to keep deer out and if so for 10 acres?
How well do they drive in rocky ground? Look forward to seeing the rest of your fencing series. Have 45 acres I will be needing to fence in the near future
This is my question, too. I really want to go with these fence posts, but my husband doesn't think they will work on some of our rocky ground.
To install these in rocky ground we recommend drilling a pilot hole first then pound the post. It makes it so much easier!
Folks, Brad Moore below knows what he is talking about. He is the Timeless Rep and knows his stuff!
Brad Moore, thank you for responding. I definitely like the concept, how they will make the perimeter fence look and all the positive things Greg pointed out. Will have to get a few and see how they drive when I get closer to putting up the perimeter.
How much does that fence effect predator traffic? Do coyotes still get in? I would think feral hogs won’t typically get in, or out? I had never thought of this. Very interesting .Thanks for all the fantastic knowledge sir! I have been binge watching Greg Judy :)
It would depend how many wires you put on your fence if coyotes came in our not.
Greg - For perimeter line posts holding 5 wires do you recommend the 2 inch or 1-1/2" Timeless posts?
If I'm going to build a fence, it is going to be the strongest fence possible. I would use 2" on perimeter fence.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thanks for the help and quick response. You're the best.
Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher 2f4
What are you using for corner posts if not your fiberglass ones? Wood?
We use all fiberglass corners
In a cow calf situation where you also run sheep would you recommend keeping the 2 in 2 total different pasture so you keep your wire low for your sheep and keep the other wire high for cattle?
Graze them together
Hey Greg. We're closing this week on our 80 acres, and I'm freaking excited! Just want to clarify a few things.
Timeless's website doesn't offer a 2" post. Our options are either 2.125" at $10 each on the 5'6", or 1.75" at $8.
Our perimeter is mostly done already (barbed wire). Do you recommend we go in with a 2nd perimeter just inside the existing?
Please confirm how far apart for the H-Beams. 30' apart for the Ts for perimeter and 35-40' apart for the paddock. Do we need the H-Beams for paddocking at all?
And for the step-in posts: Timeless has some but I think you said that O'Briens are better. They're sold out for now but will be back.
Thanks a ton!!!
Use the 1.5 " x 4.5' for your offset single wire along yiur perimeter fence. This allows you to carry power around your whole farm. On paddock divisions use the same post with 35-40 feet spacings. With one single hi-tensile wire you don't need the H posts.
The Obrien post is the best step-in post made.
Where can you get these post here in North Carolina
Greg, I like these classroom type videos. I'm interested in your herd population. What is your ideal percentages of bulls, steers, heifers and cows? You talk all the time about culling the less healthy animals or those with undesirable traits - but how do you decide how many healthy, desirable animals to sell?
You have to stock your farm with the correct stocking rate for the production that you get from your farms forages. If your overstocked, everything suffers.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thanks for the reply. Im asking more detail than just total head. How many bulls would you want in herd of 100?
@@brianr1812 3-4 bulls would be good. If you don't have enough bull power and have some open cows show up, that is a huge loss.
can you use barbed wire with these post's?
Nrcs put 3 wire in my plan for paddock dividers.
I'm curious, I use a loader bucket to stick posts in the ground. Will these stand up to that pressure?
I had a fellow come and buy some corner posts from me that used his tractor bucket to install the Timeless posts. He bought a schedule 40 pvc pipe and placed it over the Timeless posts and pressed them into the ground perfectly. The PVC pipe was cut to the length of post left sticking out of the ground.
Always enjoy your stuff were getting ready to fence off 80 acres, not sure what to put in. I keep going back to putting in a high fence for the Transcaspian Urial sheep we're getting. What do you suggest?
If you run the wires through the post, so you "don't need any fasteners", and then you "snap one of these posts off", good luck replacing the post "easily". You'd have to pull the wires all back out through ALL the posts till you got to the damaged one. I'd rather use a piece of wire like you do on your fiberglass rod posts. That way, if something DOES happen to a post in the line, it's easily replaced. Still no insulators to break, and no metal post to ground out your fence, but alot easier maintenance when it's necessary.
You can do the exact same thing with Timeless posts if you like. Just fasten the wire to the outside of the post with a piece of soft galvanized wire when you build your fence. But I have never had a Timeless post break, ever. We've had trees fall on them, deer run through them and these posts take the beating and keep right on performing. If there was a better post out there, I would be using it.
Greg, is there a device I can put on my fence to alarm me when someone cuts my electrified fence? I don't think I've heard you talk yet about vandals/trespassers. Also, if it's not too sensitive, could you do a video about handling trespassing/poaching and the like? Thanks, Greg!
Me,too. I’ve had perimeters and cross fencing wires cut by utilities, road crews, new city neighbors wanted a better view from their property,on my 30 acres and I never knew until I was missing animals or got a call from a neighbor.
Helpful criticisms...Your lighting is washing everything out. You might have a camera adjustment that would fix it or maybe turn off a light, shade a light... with all of the white it's just hard to see. In video edits you can take High Def camera shots and then insert them into your videos.. it ain't that fancy... Jack Cole has a UA-cam channel and is a boss at stuff and he is all about teaching and sharing how you could do it.
Yes I messed up on the lighting, will do better next time
hey greg if i have good ends and corners can i use the 1.5” posts?
Absolutely and they will perform fine for you.
If the tree falls on electric fence, would it catch fire ?
How do you keep a straight line if you have to put your posts in first?
@Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher
Just got my first order! the 5' for the 1.75 t-posts! Check us out! KnowWhere Farms, BC! Can't wait to see how they'll do in the three feet of snow we get here. Also, my good friend, Joseph, @ Aveley Ranch, is a Canadian retailer for this awesome product.
-S-K- Miller I’d love to hear how they work out for you. Has Aveley been using them long? I think it’s been 10 years since I was there last. LG
@@northofnowhere3611, Joseph just started using them last year, and he's trying all sorts of configurations.
Are they quieter to drive compared to steel t posts?
Yes much quieter
How much wire do you use? For your perimeter fence?
5 wire 200,000 psi hi-tensile electric. Use a good charger!
Greg, thanks for your videos. Will the Timeless T-Post work well with how you drive over the fence with your 4 wheeler? It so how far apart should the T-post be? Thanks again.
Peter, with your single wire paddock division and post spacing of 45', you will have no problem driving over a fence made with Timeless posts. They bend but come back up . Just don't drive over the wire to close to the post, puts excessive pressure on the bottom of your ATV that you do not want.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher thanks for your time.
Can they be pounded in rocky ground?
Predrill with concrete bit
Sir I have 10 acre farm can I use rotational grazing for 20 cows and fence post what is the distances a part of the step fence posr
20 cows on 10 acres is a heavy stocking rate... you're going to need to supplement them all the time. Yes, you can use rotational grazing for them, but with that much density, you'll only be able to let them graze for about 1/3 of a day, and then feed them hay OFF of the grazing area for the rest of each day probably, or they'll graze it much too hard.
What happens to a post if you have rocky soil and you hit a rock ( big rock, a chunk of a rock..so on) on the way down as you drive it down.. has that been tested of tried as a demonstration. jus askin.
We have driven them through some pretty big tree roots with no problems.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Micheal Berry could/maybe hook you up for the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo next year... Lets get you a radio interview... toughen that guy up... I'ma call him you just say OK no matter what he says.. OK. Heck ask him if he is charging you money them ask him (are you paying me)? Micheal is going to like you.. hog no hog.
Hi Greg, I have watched many of your videos My wife and I are finally going to be able to live our dream. We are purchasing and leasing adjoining land and will follow your principles of management. I have taken so many notes from your videos. I am stumped though on a portable water system. I prefer not to have 100’s of yards of black plastic pipe. I would prefer a water trough on wheels. I can only find ideas on how to build one. You are so innovative... Just like your round bale trailer. Perhaps another project for you? If not, what would you recommend? Thank you for all that you have done to help people get back to the earth...
I know you directed this question at Mr Judy, but I'm in the same situation as you. What I have designed was a heavy duty wagon from harbor freight and I mounted an IBC tote on top of that. This way I can put the water where I want it and concentrate my fertilizer where I think I need it.
I am thinking using 275 or 330 gallon IBC poly tote food grade. Place it slightly elevated on a flatbed trailer and tow it out to the pasture. Then put a standard cattle tank and a Jobe low pressure or Gallagher tank valve. Figure on how many gallons you may need per day in 100 degree heat. May work if it could last at least a day. Have an emergency escape plan to get back to water, pond in case you can not do it for some other reason
Kenny Hardcastle Hi Kenny, Thank you for your input. I have seen where some drag a tractor tire trough from paddock to paddock. Also, a propane tank cut in half lengthways and mounted on an axle. Plus hauling 300 gallons of water on the truck bed.
I know Greg would prefer not to drive on pasture except on a quad... I appreciate your input and will check out Harbor Freight.👍
Glynn,
I saw in one of his videos he cut a 55-gallon drum in half and was using that to water his cattle as he moved it to each pasture. As long as it is hooked up to a continual water source with some sort of float I think that should work depending on how many cattle you are running at the same time.
Jerry Meyer Hi Jerry, thank you for your response. I will check out IBC. An easily towable water trough would be great to move from each electric wire enclosure to the next. Probably 3 rotations a day. I wish you well with your property...
Bad Perimeter Fence Horror Story (True) - Black Angus, dark and stormy Southern night in the spring, tree knocked on barb wire roadside fence, 2 am call from sheriffs deputy - 40 out, one down with ribs caved in, drunk teenager and girlfriend (don't ask) in undrivable car with crushed front-end, oh so helpful city boy sheriff's deputy gonna help out the "little lady owner" by shooting fatally injured cow in head with his pistol, bullets rattling around in skull cavity (because remember cows have pea-sized brain in great big empty head but city boy wouldn't know that) sounding like pinto beans in an empty pot while cow bellows in pain. Yeah, great night. Oh, not to mention deputy started puking in the ditch when "little lady" used the butcher knife on injured cow's throat, then walked off to temporarily fix the fence with 16-foot aluminum gate after yelling at the deputy to help her get the cows back in by "JUST STAND RIGHT THERE TO BLOCK THEM FROM THE ROAD, STUPID" without even wiping the blood off of herself. The only reason I didn't get sued on top of EVERYTHING else was because the kid was drunk! Twas a night to remember even 45 years later! With posts like Greg describes I can only imagine how the one good thing of the night would have been cutting the tree off and having the fence pop back up!! Everything I described would have still been bad but I wouldn't have had fence repair on top of it!!!!!
Oh my gosh, Kathy what a night to remember!! You sure don't need many nights like that to bring back nightmares.
What a story! Thanks for sharing. Good thing the little lady was really a tough country gal.
Can they be pulled out and moved ?
Yes they can
Do you know of any grants for start up farming in Ohio/ Pennsylvania?
You should check out his book No Risk Ranching. You might not need any government money. It always comes with strings attached.
Joe I’ve inherited 20 acres of vacant property. No water no fence. Part fields part forest. Recently logged. Not sure if it’s worth investment of fencing well ponds ect. Don’t know we’re to start.
Where in west Virginia can you find them
Timeless ships nation wide
I know you believe in the product. But I wonder what kind of Kickback or incentives you have from Timeless fence. You sound more like a Salesman then a fan
It is the best post, don’t waste your money on the others like I did when I first started. That is my message.
personal opinion or promotional collaboration?
I use the Timeless post on our farms. No other posts measures up to them, that is why I promote them. Build your fence once and be done with it
But tell me how you really feel LOL
any suppliers in ontario canada
I emailed Timeless and there's 3 of them. They're in Murillo, Millbank and Stirling. None of them are close to me in the northeast part of the province
Your videos are so informative. I am planning to employ some of these techniques in Navarra, Spain. I don’t post much on youtube. I generally post on instagram: stevensmithnavarra and on facebook: chiki munki. I couldn’t find you on either platform. Not that I am saying you should enter these realms of online wheeality. It is a generation thing, but perhaps you could check out some young bloods like: onthegraze or sistercattleco on tiktok... Imagine trying to explain to some 15 years ago what social media would become and the fact there are social media regen farmers who are “influencers”
