Electric Fencing

Electric Fencing

The advantage of being a modern farmer is the ability of using electric fencing.  With zip ties, a few posts, a car battery, solar power, 2300 feet of wire, and a willing neighbor; we can save our neighbor from having his pasture mowed and our cattle are happily fed.  

I continued to feed the cattle fodder while they were in this pasture because it was so dry.  Fortunately we were able to stop buying any hay for  8 weeks while they were in our neighbor's pasture.  

I am adding the video below because often people post a video of poor cows that were released from being butchered and the cows are skipping and kicking their feet in joy.  

These cattle are 1 year old to 14 years old and are in a new pasture for the second time this month showing the same joy.
