[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 575435, member: 7956"] It isn't worth the hassle. Just tell her to find someone else cut and bale her hay. I had a similar situation last night. I have one pasture that has a hot wire all around it, and one side is only 2 strands of hot wire. Well, yesterday I had a couple of calves get out, first time over there in probably 3 years. No big deal, the fence was shorted out and one of the wires broke after they figured out the wire wasn't hot. Well I fixed the short, mended the wire, but it still wouldn't work as there was evidently an additional short. In the mean time, the adjoining neighbor drives by and starts yacking about putting a calf of mine in a couple hours prior. Well I tell him the fence had a short, blah, blah, blah, still a short in it, blah, blah, blah, so he starts asking me questions. Is the electricity turned on? Is the fencer working? Did you check up there where there are a couple of trees close to the fence? Did you grab ahold of the fence and see if it is working? Now this isn't the first year I have ran cattle on this pasture, only the 10th. I told him I have a tester that tells me if the fence is working. I wanted to say I know I am only 27 and you are older than dirt, but I think I know what I am doing. I just brushed it off and went about my business, but I hate it when another person tries to tell someone else how/what to do. I only give advice when it is asked for. [/QUOTE]
