I thought you were done with all the fence on the new place. Every morning I turn on my device and look for your new video. When one is missing, I can guess your out building fence. I plan on moving to Ozarks and getting my own thing going in the next couple years. When I think of all the fence, I wonder where the money will come from to build it all. You and the boys have set the bar high with all you have done. Good job!
Thanks for the video! It sure look beautiful there. A lot of my fescue is brown after being cold for awhile with no snow to protect it. I took a walk on my pasture yesterday to see how much forage is left. I could let my livestock out there for about 10 days. I was keeping it there just in case I couldn’t get hay to my animals for a week or so. My plan is let it be so in the spring I will have a good mixture of green forage and brown forage. It will make it easier on my livestock stomach.
Option for MICRO grazers: we trained our small number of critters on halters or leashes: 1 or 2 critters at a time. Enough line to reach and touch the fence, but a grip to keep in fence. Allow to test fence til they look at it and back away. Then drop the leash/halter, so they can move freely until you are confident they are trained. We used this for 2 dogs, 3 sheep, 2 dairy goats, 2 meat goats, 1 red and white Holstein calf. Critters were new at various times. Their young are trained by their mothers, not us. The meat goat kid was a Houdini when small. The dairy goat kid stuck with mamma. Hope this helps those with just a couple critters...
Becuase I thought I could learn more (as we always can if breathing and open-minded), I bought some books recently and two of them were by Jim Gerrish. I was a bit surprised to read his "hate" on K31. I understand the basis of the issues, but also I simply don't see it as a problem given the grazing I intend to do. I don't see GJ suffering with K31, I see it well-managed and thriving and animals thriving thereupon. Jim and every other grazing guru can run down the fescue, I'm going to graze it, like they do up in MO!
Dear Sir, you are the smarter man by not engaging contest with the fool! Les chiens aboient, et la caravane passe! What you demonstrate, for free, on all your vidéos, all the pastures schools and conférences I can follow on You Tube are a tribut to humanity! Being French I am privilèged too that I can follow some others pionneres in Conservation Agriculture on UA-cam also, and they are obliged by all the work made in America (North and South) (they like Québec for all the studies in the 70ies on BRF.... Shwreded twiggy woodbranchs, etc...) cattle intégration in cover crops too, so many tools. I was amazed by the conférence in Alberta Canada about rounded ball grazing in Winter and their results of organic matters in 15 years (that should have taken 150, right😂) Good health to you, your family and your crew, I can't wait to see all the results of your amazing work in Spring and Summer on all the new pastures you got access to now. Happy New Year everybody take Care !
Ive been using 1/16 air craft cable..., that stuff up here in canada works out to be half the price of high tensile. I try to get more and more efficient with rotational grazing so my paddocks are always changing. thing is I have all types of surface water so I'm able to hard fence paddocks bring the cattle to the water and just keep them moving. Sounds like a lifetime worth of work in corner posts right? But honestly I pound a normal 3 inch top fence post and tie off cause that air craft cable is so light you have to apply really just hand tension to get that wire to the right height..., putting up a mile of fence is not a very big deal any more and until I get my paddocks completely figured out moving a fence is as easy as pulling a small plst every 12 strides and coiling the wire like its poly wire. I will say all this fence is on a chunk of land soon as it comes to a perimeter fence its something like barbed or something that can a hit by a deer
Thank-you for another great video Greg. Is there a particular reason you don’t use the Timeless H braces and H corners? I’ve never used them but they look like they would be strong. Do you think the 2” Timeless T posts would work to replace the individual treated posts that are interspersed at certain points. I’m curious to know if a fence made completely from Timeless products would work, and why you don’t do that. I’d be grateful to know your reasoning as it might save me some trouble:)
This particular farm had some existing wooden H-braces already installed. We wanted to match it up, so we used wood corners. We have other farms where we used the Timeless A-frame corners and the work great. They are also much easier to install than wooden corners. They make a very attractive fence as well.
Thanks Greg. Could Timeless H posts replace the treated wood posts? These are genuine questions…I’m just trying to figure out why if the Timeless is so good why the whole fence isn’t done that way. It almost seems like the timeless posts almost end up being droppers in between those big wood posts.
Yeah right. When you get 6-7 days of constant rain, they are conductive as ever. Not using insulators on wooden posts is a great way to have your cattle trotting down the highway due to your fence being dead as a canned sardine.
Really nice job Greg. Blessings on all you guys🙂

Fine fence. Looks great!
I love your stockpile. Those fields even when brown are gorgeous.

We found old bunches of wire around our farm left from previous owners who just dropped it wherever.
Beautiful!
Greg, why don't you guys use the Timeless Fence corners and H braces?
Hey Greg, why is your wire on the road side of the treated posts and not the inside?
Greg, can I ask why you put your pin lock insulators on the outside of your wood post versus the inside?

Bow far apart are the timelines fence posts?
20 feet
Awesome fence. What is the cost of a fence like this?
Correction "how" far apart are the timeless fence posts?
20 Feet
Greg, what post spacing do you use? I'm planning on doing this exact style fence this spring on my newly purchased 90 acres.
His instructional videos are posted here on YT.
Greg, why do you have the wire on the “outside” of the fence and not the inside? Does it help with longevity?
Aesthetics, looks better

Been waiting hoping to see you show your battery solar fence charger setup have I missed it somehow or are you going to make a video of it soon ?
Already have one. Made it in the March time frame I think.
Ok Thanks I’ll try to find it do you remember if it has solar or something in the Heading ?
@delonclark3197 yes it did
Greg, are you required to put "Warning: Electric Fence" signs when it is near the road?
We do that.
Would this wire spacing work for sheep too?
If they were broke to hot wire
Thanks Greg!
what size wooden posts are those?
7” diameter x 8’ long
Greg I noticed a post on the road where you had the wire on the PASTURE side why is that🤔
There was a bend in the fence at that post position

I’m sure you know that wood posts are not conductive. So why spend money on all those insulators?

Ok good to know. I never considered a wood post as a conductor. I could definitely see that being an issue with wet wood.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher 😂😂😂Dead as a canned sardine, great description
