Drifts are melting.....lots of broken fence. Thats what April will be all about.

I have stretched a fair amount of fence myself. It is peaceful work.

I don't mind it. The cowboys on the Waldron Grazing range nearby have a busy fence season....over 600 miles of it to check and repair.

I wouldnt mind medin some fence especially if it was with a cowboy from Alberta

600 miles is quite a long fence repair, RR.
I can "see" that distance easily, because it is 545 miles from my place here in KCMO to my former home in Bristol, Wisconsin!!

BTW, how long is the fence span you'll need to work on?

I don't have near that much....I can get all of mine done in a day or so if I keep at it. Lots of busted wires this year.

What makes the wire break over the winter?

The weight and shifting of frozen drifted snow; I have several pastures where the fences have been buried since December. Just starting to see some post tops now.

Almost sounds like a glacier effect; except the frozen, drifted snow moves at a "quicker" pace.
Maybe before winter the horses nudged up to the posts and whispered, "Don't fence me in."

Makes sense. Thanks for the information.
