Redneck Engeneering

A few years ago the neighbor was getting ready to ship calves. Some of his calves crawled through the fence to my field. No big deal he pushed them back. The next day they were actually shipping. The calves were back on my place. He got them back and was busy shipping 3 pot loads of calves. Told his hired man to go fix the fence. It was in a spot you can't see from the road and a corner you can't see in the field unless you are pretty close. I didn't have anything in that field. It was several months before I happened out there and saw the redneck fence repair. Told the neighbor and we had a good laugh about. Somehow I don't think the hired man ended up laughing. A short time later that entire stretch of fence got a face lift.

Pallets are easier to haul than old bent portable corral panels and you can slide them right over a steel post.
 
Looks good to me. On the fly repairs have a way of becoming permanent don't they.
That auto-lube was over $1000. We ended up fiberglassing it. In a way I am glad to see that baler gone; it was a problem the entire time I owned it. It is now somewhere in Mexico. I had to replace the pads in that swamp cooler; I was almost afraid to touch it. I did get them replaced today. It is going to have to be replaced for next year. I'm thinking of putting in one of those mini-split units. The last couple days we have been over 100, and today it is going to be somewhere near 100. I'm over this heat wave.

I used some pallets to build a shelter for some goats.
 
That just gave me an idea. I bet some palllet would work pretty good on some water gaps we have.
Right here🙋‍♂️😂. I’m not ashamed lol. Run some barbed or horse wire through the top to let em give. They sure are easier to find and deal with than a tangled mess of posts and wire and screwed up wire panels.
