Funny that you say that but a few years ago we had 3 folks go thru our fence in about 2 years. I happened during the night on all three times. Luckly the cows were in the other pastures at the time. Only one time did anyone say anything. It was a lady who was "bumped" when a car ran up behind her and clipped her left rear before passing. She spun out and went thru the fence backwards. I was out of town at the time so my son went and unlocked the gate to let the tow truck in to load the car up. When I got home the next evening, the lady's husband had already repaired the fence.
I have used the yellow stretcher, a comealong, the tractor, the truck and one of those rope pulley blocks that was my granddads. Each has good points and bad points. I choose the best depending on what I need at the moment.
