Run thru that!

Seven strands of barb!
There will be a hot down the middle tomorrow.

Looks good!

Almost thought this was a new "three" word thread

Hotwire MIGHT be overkill...

Now, you just need a new gate

 

[Caustic Burno]

Fence is nothing more than a mir suggestion to a bovine to stay put.
I had a Hereford bull that would plow through six strands two hots hotter than the hinges on the gates to hell.
Did it twice before becoming a Big Mac.
When he got ready to go visit the ladies fence meant nothing.
The one thing I have learned about a bovine the only true problem solver is a ride to the salebarn.
It's cheaper to buy a better cow.

I've got my doubts as to the usefullness of that bottom wire Murray. I don't like the wire close to the ground. My calves all hit the wires a bit further up. I don't like having my fences too good, I like having them so that if the calves go through them they can get back through when they get hungry enough. I used to stress a bit with calves going through fences but now I just leave then to get hungry enough.
But you've done a good job of it Murray.

Hey, MM! Can you please come up here and do all my crappy cross fences like that one? Except, yeah, leave the bottom wire off, so the doggies can still get through. I'll fix you lunch!

No way!!

As you may know I had Big Sexy breaking in there. But that is not my intent to keep him out. Tho this will do for him!

My intent is to keep the new fresh released babies from running amuck! It never seemed to fail with the old 5 strands of hot, there would always be one or two run at full speed straight thru it!

I kinda giggled about the bottom wire as well! But I've seen more than enough wiggle under when they are freaked out.

Oooo! I bet there will be cheese!!

Getting in the sheep business?

It'll never hold sheep or goats! Water still runs out when I fill it up...

This. There ain't been the wire laid never that can actually stop one that really wants to.

LOTS of cheese!

 

[MurraysMutts]

Success!
Wish I would've got a couple pics of em smashing into it.
We will have to settle for happy pictures.

My favorite part is watching em run!

O yeah. Couple of em have tested the hotwire repeatedly. Some are dumber than others....

 

[50/50Farms]

A smashing success... Perhaps now they won't be so high strung... It was really down to the wire there. You'll have to keep us posted for any shockers.

This takes care of your problem bull. If I haul the neighbor's POS they might get me for rustling.

That swings!

 

[MurraysMutts]

Any guesses how this is gonna go when I wean a dozen calves in that acre pretty soon?

 

[branxchar&charx]

My prediction is there is going to be a lot of bawling for 3 days but none will escape thru the new 7 strand barb wire unles u leave that gate opened.
