Big Muddy rancher
Well-known member
So the ranch next to us has recently sold.
We share about 8 and a 1/2 miles of fence with it, the fence is mostly old three strand barbed wire. It run's through some rough county and in and out of coulee's and brush.
The new guy plans on running yearlings and he won't be living there,
called and wants me to go in on new fence with him.
Fence has gotten expensive with good wire at $125 a roll, posts have gone up a lot.
I had planned on replacing about a mile that was off the line, the neighbor moved it for convenience then complained if our cattle got through it as they never maintained it.
He's worried his yearling will get to our big rough pasture and he won't get them back. We ran yearlings for years and maintained the fence, added a third wire to some of it.
What do you guys think?
