Wasn't even thinking about that! Thank you. I was thinking more about cattle pushing in, but a few hot wires might solve that.

Question for the experts: I'm going to be cutting a pasture in half. One side cows, the other horses. I plan on using no climb fence and some hot wires(eventually). Is my best bet to put the no climb on the side of the posts towards the cattle since they are more likely to put on it than my...

I was going to move a few about 1/2 hour away and check them every 2-3 days, mainly to check/fill water tanks. However after checking the fences I'm not going to move them now. Given good fence and water supply, I would stick with the 2-4 day check. Not sure I'd want them any further away...

Been finding some better ones, just have to know how to feed the google machine properly.

Are there any reference sites that show overhead drawings? I need to build a system and I'm reading all the reference material I can, including threads like this.

7-2 is a pretty solid decision and the left shouldn't complain.

My grass pastures are about 3-5 inches long, could really use more rain here in CO! Folks who irrigate might have grass knee high.

Colorado winter has been very low on moisture. I'd be happy with anything we get right now. Almost daily red flag warning for fires, already a few withing miles of me.

Ha! I can see the conversation at home. Wife~Honey, what happened to the handle on this drawer? Husband~Not sure, but I should have some money soon to replace all the handles so they match...

I guess I'm an anomaly. Been doing it for years... You must be pretty good to pull a pistol out of someone elses holster. And if you could, the person doesn't deserve a second chance and should have their gun taken away.

I've never had an issue OC'ing here in Colorado. Said hello to several LEO's too. Most people are thinking you are LEO if you OC, but there are a few who get nervous. I've yet to see a criminal OC. Whether I carry open or concealed, it's always Condition 1.

Interesting read so far. Has anyone read D. Bartons, American History in Black and White? Thoughts? I've come to believe that Barton does a pretty good job of being factually accurate.
