We use barb wire, posts every 25ish feet with braces. We have 3 wires for the fences that are not on the border of our land. On the border we have 4-5 wires on our bordering land depending on the neighbor.
I'll get a picture of our braces. My dad makes them, they're cheap to make and will last my life time

There you have it Holm! A nice Christmas Photo gift for BT. Tis the season.

I got a new phone. Apple SE. Don't need anymore than what it has to offer and probably would not use all that it offers anyway. Had to update to the phone from my 4S so that my new Apple Watch Series 1 64 bit will work. Want to track my activity and weather etc. Was looking at FitBits. But when the DH ordered all his snowmobile gear (got a snowmobile now) he asked me what I wanted and I had been looking at FitBits but the watches are so much better and with Black Friday sales - not much more than a Fit Bit, which was probably on sale somewhere also but I did not look.

So! I have the watch and it is linked and sinc ed to the phone. But now I am backing up my 4s to iCloud so that I can transfer the info to the SE and begin using the SE as my phone. The 4s is a good phone worth about $10. Anyone need a cute, good phone, Apple - for the shipping cost? You send the $$$ to ship it and I will wipe the phone clean and unblock it and send it to you. I have a cute girlie case - all sparkly - that you can have. Purchased that a month ago. I have no use for it. What say you? First come basis.

Hang onto it Ivie...just in case the other gets wet or something or broke or lost. Speaking as a person who has had to replace 1/2 the family's phones in one month. LOL.

I can take the camera out and get a better one. Thanks! Maybe I should get some done at the Picture printing place and mail them to you!

Holm I will PM you my email...if you are willing to share the jpeg with me. Save you're money kiddo! I should be Paying You for your photography skills! The Middle one with Cow #3 is awesome. I think it's the close up of it.

And are these Ralphie's new darlings? Great!...Now I want a kitty. No wonder you can sell snowballs to eskimos. Sales by photography!

Spent my lunch playing around with aerial maps from the county GIS department. Looks like i will have about 3300 linear feet of perimeter fence or so based on what I want to fence in then I can break it into paddocks.

Nope these aren't Ralphies (unless he wants these ones). Lol Cats are the key to happiness! I love them when they are outside but house cats are a bad idea I think..

Well I get to pick up my Cochins in Brainerd Saturday! So excited! Be prepared for a Photobomb! I have to finish my cage for them when I finish homework! These poor guys will never get to see the great outdoors unless I am holding them. i am not losing them to an Eagle or another rooster! I love my Buckeyes but dont trust them with other roosters that havent grown up with them...
