That's pretty slick if you've got the set up to do it.


When I re-fenced a lot of the exterior of the farm I used 5" treated post every 20" with T-posts in between. I did rent a post driver for putting the wooden posts in. Only way to do that job. Beats the heck out of digging and tamping!

It costs more but i do not know the differential. Its the risk of fire and lack of skill of the female opperators.

We will use it for the H braces and use the green high tensil barbed wire on it. Normally we weld our H braces using oil field pipe.

Seems the cows aren't getting a square meal with them.

Sun out, roads dry, I'm off for a test Kubbing, catch ya later all.

Kubbing very likely. Wonder how long it will take before they realize I am gone :-)
