It takes me FOREVER to build fence (due to knees, back, hip, etc, etc,), but I FINALLY finished this section! I put up close to 1100' of woven wire fabric, planted 21 Wood posts, and drove another 32 steel posts. Built 4 corners and 2 pulls, crossed a small creek, and tangled with Posion Ivy. It's a little over 1.25 acres. I had existing fence on one side and part of another, but had to cover it with woven wire for the goats. I scrounged the wire, cut the wood posts from trees in the pasture, cobbed onto the 4 gate posts (they are actually old bridge piers - big and HEAVY), and managed to scrounge the steel posts and gate as well. I spent $12 on staples and clips (have some left over, too!), so I figure the Poison Ivy on my hand is worth it! I managed to get a couple of posts turned the wrong way so the bend in the post is out instead of with the fenceline, but I can cut the tops off a bit and it will be less noticable. Took me over a month, but the goats are happy with all the goodies that are available to munch! I will probably wait a bit before I start on another stretch I need to do! This is about 450' along my driveway. I AM looking for volunteers to come to SE Nebraska and help cut posts and plant them.........

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
