    How do you read this website to keep up with the forums

    Rafter I have the box checked to log me in auto, but it does not always work. I have not bothered to follow up on that because it takes so little time to click and log on.

    Electric Fence

    If you use the tubing you have, be sure to put a vertical post at the foot brace or put in H braces at the corners. This will allow you to pull your wires tighter. With just the angle brace down I find they tend to lean towards the inner angle of your corner and loosen the `wire. :2cents:

    Loading Individual Cattle

    A word of caution. Never let your attention span down when loading animals. Last July I was loading my Brangus bull to take to the vet.

Top it off with another run of 2 3/8 around top and you have a sturdy fence almost 6' that has worked well for me. The chute area...

    Running Electric Across Deep Ravine????

    I've also used something similar on a large ditch my fence line crosses. I put drops from the HT hot line with large (approx 1" ID) flat washers for weights. These stay hot and turn the calves but trash won't hang up on them during high water.

    Always "Think Safety". A good friend was riding his 8 yr old son on the fender while discing and the boy fell off. No need to describe further. The man was never right after that.
