Amen to that!!

Agreed God bless you

Yes I have done that many times. I need to teach Ben and Issac that technique. Thanks for the reminder!!

Good idea, thanks!

great idea!

From ground 6,6,6,6,8,10

I give updates on my KZfaq channel every few weeks on the goats and fencing and such, I encourage you to check it out thanks

Doesn’t make any sense for them to be doing that. Change is hard to make for folks.

You will be going through again every 2 years to untwist the insulators and prevent them from getting completely gobbled up by the trees, dont ask me how i know.

We use a tight string to get our fenceline straight when using Timeless posts.

We normally pull the wire on the spinning Jenny with the Atv. We leave the spinning Jenny sitting on the ground it is much easier to control. On short runs we just pull it by hand.

Hey Greg got another question for ya too. I was wondering if you worry about grass finishing steers going through winter and maybe not gaining enough to make them marble good enough to have a great eating experience? I’m up in Minnesota and that’s a challenge of mine I got my steers separated from the cow herd now and feeding them silage bales and some other good high quality dry hay. But it would be way easier to leave them with the cows. What I’m getting at is how would the meat turn out if you kept the steers with the cow herd and they didn’t gain through winter and you waited till mid summer to slaughter when they gained good weight every day for 60+ days or so? Maybe that’s a video you could cover? Thanks Greg for all the great Information you share with us!!

170,000 psi wire is awesome wire to work with. It will do everything you need it to do. Get it from Timeless Fence or Powerflex

Greg uses 12 gauge soft galvanized. He likes 180 psi for the fence. You can tie a know with 180 psi, you cannot with 200 psi. Their is a variety of soft galvanized less than 180 psi to use as fence ties.

I've done 700 yards using a Jenny like Greg's, going through timeless line posts (through the holes), 5 slight corners (when combined made a 90 degree corner), and 2 big grade changes. I pulled it myself...not easy, but doable

Need to make one covering that, thanks!

Great idea, I will definitely try that, your awesome!!!

12.5 gauge

Yes

Foam filled posts would work

20 feet on flat ground is our spacing.

Measuring the sag when each end of the wire is not exactly level and the ground is uneven may make those tables hard to interpret. I would think about shooting from one end to the other with a laser then measuring the SAG from the laser down to the wire in the middle. If you want to be scientifically exact.

@@davej7458 Sagging wire is not an exact function, but rather, a quick method in the field to approximate the tension of a conductor. Exactitude would be achieved by putting a, "clock," on it, in my day, something like a linear scale that registers tension on a clock-like face. Let's start with how a line crew would determine sag. The man sagging would measure from the point of attachment of the conductor, and measure down to the desired sag, drive his 12 inch Screwdriver into the pole. The man at the next pole would drive his Screwdriver as well. Sighting the belly to the point of both screwdrivers would determine the sag. Generally, it wouldn't be 1 span of wire, but maybe a dozen spans, with 1 to 3 conductors in blocks at each pole, being pulled by a tensioner, or as simple as the conductors attached to a bumper of a pickup with slings and grips. When it was close, the man at the last pole would approximate sag, catch it off in a hoist, (other professions call what linemen call a hoist, a come-along). Then, he cuts it, with plenty of extra, and adjusts it for sag. Then he does the same for all conductors. The line being pulled in, (often rigged to the old conductors being replaced, and pulled out), have varying obstructions, and sag differently in minor ways. The termination point the conductors were pulled to before tensioning may be a mile away, bit of an exaggeration, but they are all sagged by the man on the pole at the other end. Once it's sagged, a crew at each pole secures the conductors in the insulators, and perform other duties. In my experience, an inexperienced line hand, or a grunt, coming in and trying to correct seasoned line hands using the accumulated knowledge of over 100 years of pole top line construction rarely sees that man finding success. Put another way, a foreman who ignored the accepted procedure would encounter push-back from the men, and would likely bring the job in at the cost of many additional man hours. He'd probably get fired.

You could do that.

That is correct

No we never touch them

Yes

Bears probably are kept put but I'd bet coyotes would love through fairly easy

Some properties that border roads, we mostly have 5 wire hi- tensile electric fence.

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher So for inner boundaries near woods and creeks are you just running the single wire like on the video. When is the 5 wire versus 1 wire set up? I grew up laying 5 barbed wired fences everywhere

Greg likes powerflex. I do not know if that is what he used here. Here is a link: powerflexfence.com/collections/permanent-fence-posts/products/sunguard-fiberglass-pre-drilled-post
