[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1595324, member: 27848"] I realized when I bought this property upon which I currently live, that one day I wouldn't be able, nor want to maintain a large place. So I leased most of my land for my farming effort over the years.....being 78 today, my aspirations were correct. All the land I leased was in shambles and the owners wanted a "sucker" to clean it up for them, or do something associated with agriculture so that they could maintain their Ag. Ad-valorem Tax status. I saw potential in the places I selected and around here word of mouth is how you did business so a handshake signed the agreement. I always felt that anything I put into the place was a loss. With that mentality, I wasn't all that concerned when I lost or left a particular place. I just revisited the pictures posted with this listing. I think I saw half a dozen weeds, otherwise all I saw (viewing from the eyes of a cow) was Yum Yum! I'd run a hog around the perimeter to get a perimeter clean line established and install a crude hot wire, 14 ga. single strand, standoffs 30' apart, 3' off the ground, using the trees for corner posts when available, run by a solar charger. With what's there I doubt there will be much if any wire challenging and as soon as it got bumped a couple of times by unwary bovines, you could turn off the juice. I've seen a single wire 6" off the ground maintain a 30ish steer herd in a 30ish lot. Cows would even stand on their side and eat across the wire but never did any cross it. I didn't see what transpired prior to my observation on that particular herd nor lot, and they probably got acclamated to the fence, or an electrified fence there prior to what I saw. Let them clean it up and then execute Plan B. [/QUOTE]
