Wood is free, metal is...Wood rots and metal rusts. Wood is free, metal is about $5/post.<br /><br />That was Mindy breaking into Mildred's pen. The snow was packed down on the pasture side, but loose and fluffy on Mildred's side- Mildred had just arrived.<br /><br />When I let the geese out in the winter the chickens stand in the doorway eyeing the evil snow outside. It's rare that one gets brave enough to venture out.<br /><br />The barbed wire I'm using now is galvanized. Some of the stuff that's already up probably wasn't.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-75297137694930320852013-08-21T13:47:16.024-04:002013-08-21T13:47:16.024-04:00Thanks. You really have no need to exercise at you...Thanks. You really have no need to exercise at your place! That was a decent walk. How many cows per acre depends on many things. But, you really have enough pasture for your herd. If wood rots, why are you replacing with wood posts? <br /><br />I remember when one or more of the cows used the high snow to cross the fence and got stuck straddling the fence. That incident made carrying my chickens through the snow seem like nothing. Do your chickens avoid stepping onto snow like mine do?<br /><br />Is barbed wire galvanized?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
