Some of you older members might remember when I had one neighbor who tried to fix fence with orange plastic twine. They tried again to fence.

oops, the wire isn't tight, aw this ought to work :roll:
 
Isn't it funny or maybe sad how little pride some folks have in doing something right? If a knothead like myself can build a fence that'll turn a cow, anybody ought'a be able to do it. :D Bless his heart. :wink:

Why even have a fence at all?

There's no more grass on one side of the fence than there is the other. :wink:

AMEN- as one of my neighbors that has a big reservation/state lease from my deeded that is divided from me by a 3 wire fence said "that is the reason we brand so in the fall we can sort it all out"...
My answer to him is "thats the reason I ride regularly to make sure my numbers are getting the fair share" :wink: ...

It all sorts out in the fall gather.....

I will admit that I am running a bit short on grass. It has been dry enough here to make this year stick out in the memory of the dry ones. Here is a picture of sorghum/sudan hy-bred on ground that was fallow last year.

but as short as my place is it is better than across the fence. They have a horse per 4 acres and have been grazing them year round. Wasn't good but last year they were at a horse per 12 acres but then they expanded the herd in March.

Am I missing out on some profitable segment of the horse industry? What do they know to want to triple their herd of horses?
