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

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Fence....
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.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Fence....
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?

Re: Fence....
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.

Re: Fence....
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.

Re: Fence....
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."
