   Maybe you posted this previously and I just don’t remember but what kind of fence are you using for your fields? Glad to hear that Coco is coming home soon. I can’t wait to see Patriot grazing in your fields. What a pretty sight that will be!

   Cheryl, depends on the field (and animals that will be using them). Some will be electric, others are woven wire field fence.

   Have you thought of putting either barbed wire (two strand) in place of the woven wire or one or 2 strands of electric fence inside to keep the animals from stretching your fences when they are up? It really keeps the amimals where you want them and once they get hit once or twice they don’t usually try the woven wire again and your fencing stays put really like you first put it up new. Using the new pin insulaters you can get a nice tight stretch on barbed wire so it stays taunt for a long time. Just a thought!
   The place is really taking shape and I’m glad to hear Coco is coming home. How is the puppy doing?

   So glad to hear Coco is finally going to be able to come back home. I know you and Morgan will be relieved to not be trudging back and forth to visit too. Can’t wait to see Patriot home with you as well. I’ll second a single strand of electric along other fences but it you use barbed wire don’t put that anywhere near a horse or donkey. Many a horse has had to be put down from the injuries resulting from an encounter with barbed wire.

   So…..you are going to make us check in over and over again today, huh?

    Just a suggestion for using some braces in your fencing. The small animals won’t be a problem, it will be the large animals. They always like the grass on the other side of the fence. It won’t take much to push the fencing over. There should be bracing on both sides of every gate, too.
