Greg you have taught me so much and my farm is looking fantastic. Thank you! If you saw my pastures you would be proud to have influenced me. Last year our farm was full of gullies and chemicals. Now we are making a good living on forage alone and there is no erosion on our steep hills anymore. 60 acres saved almost overnight and it would not have gotten done without these videos as simple as they may seem it is vital information to young farmers.

My brother in law has cows and he is always whining about he never has enough time to do anything else ( mainly anything for anyone else) But you can't tell him anything because he already knows it all. If he would watch Greigs videos with an open mind he would make some money and have time to help Mom&dad. It is amazing how much you can learn on his channel. It's nice to see that someone realizes the importance of Internships.

While we are planning on starting our new herd. I keep re watching your videos. Your making such great useful video. So informative. Keep going we need you! Also. Go Casey go! Good luck to you! 🤗

Excellent technique. I love what you say - it's a tool, not a toy. Thanks for taking your time to share with everyone.

Some really good practical advice. Good to see both of you seem happy too.

This is really awesome! I can't just get tired watching your videos Mr. Greg. You're truly a blessing to upcoming farmers like me.

Thank you so much for showing and explaining how to set this up!

Man, I’m learning so much. Please keep posting. Great stuff.

thank you for sharing your expertise and doing it in such a simple patient manner for those of us that, because of our inexperience, just don't put two and two together at first but once you explain the "why" of things, it just couldn't make more sense... thank you!

Exactly what I was wanting to know! Thank you for the details!!

THANK YOU, thank you, thank your for a more detailed video. Keep up this type of video! Tim @ Cliffside Acres

I ordered your second book, Come Back Farms. It's supposed to be in tomorrow. I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks again for these informative videos, books, and presentations.

We enjoy your videos. We have a homestead and have enjoyed your knowledge on cattle

Nice set up. I sit side saddle too when putting in pigtails. Then string them on the way back. Your reel holder idea is excellent.

I've always wondered what that thing was on the front of your four wheeler. Clever idea! Another great video Greg.

Very cool setup!

That’s a great setup. I’d like to see the drive over multiple wires.

Loving your informative videos!

You are the MAN! Thanks Greg

New subscriber here,love your videos!Very great ideas for temporary fencing!

Very simple, very handy, very useful and very efficient

Thank you!

Saw this idea on a Swiss farmers posting, they has a double reel system which was setup on the back with one reel above the other, worked real well too.

I need that grill guard in my Greg Judy care package!

Nice job, both of you

Great setup if you do alot of fences thanks 👍

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I would love to meet you just to shake your hand.

Very nice setup. Wonder if facing that wire bar with HDPE would help keep it from pushing it so far out instead of just down, less friction. I wonder if doing this over time will loosen the fence wire, you can see it pulling that line pole pretty hard there when he crosses. Maybe reducing the angle of the bar could help too, though it would make it stick out much more in the front. Regardless, genius idea to save lots of time over the months and years of setting up paddocks.

Hi Greg, Thank you for sharing your techniques. Will this system work with aluminum e-wire? Also, how do you roll up the wire? Thanks!

Found it! Thanks Greg! Now if there was a way to wind up the Terragate reel while riding the ATV...

Nice demonstration!! Thanks

This is amazing and smart. Wow very creative. I hope to get and internship at your farm.

I figured that wire would have wound up all around that 4 wheeler. That is thinking and time management at its best.

I always wondered what that was on the front for.

very good info !!

Thanks for the videos and ideas !

I think a spring pin would work great for moving the reel holder in and out and always knowing that it's at the right length for the handle

I like the Zammr handles. You have some flexibility.

Are all of your temporary fences charged from the perimeter fence or do you ever utilize a battery powered charger for an interior area that may not have a perimeter connection? Thanks for the video.

I usually run the whole wire out, tighten it, and hot it up before putting in the pegs. This ensures a very straight fence. With experience, it's not hard to do this and not get bit (zapped) A wonky fence is a weak fence that stock can push over, or that can be pulled over by putting tension on the wire. It's astounding how wonky the fence can get if you're putting the pegs in as you go even if you think you're driving/riding in a straight line. A simple way to cross the erected fence without getting off the bike: Approach the fence at a 45-degree angle. When the front tyre is just about to touch it, reach out your foot and push the wire down. There is no need to get off the bike to do this. Once you have the wire below half the height of the wheel, drive over slowly. Coming at it from a 45 means as you cross it, the wire is being held down to the ground by each wheel un succession and will not come up and get caught on the underside of the bike or by the nut on the towball. With experience you can also do this with tractors, pickups, and other vehicles.

Have you drove over the temporary polybraid with the temporary post?

Most of us won't be able to run sheep with one strand though, I've used three most commonly. Not sure I can visualize doing three reels at once that way. Even so running each reel at a time like that is a massive time and energy saver.

Excellent! 👑

What kind of steel step in posts are those? I have problems with voles chewing poly posts off at ground level.

Great man

For a multi-strand temporary fence does one need to use one reel for each strand? I don't think I've seen you mention that. Thanks in advance, Greg.

Awesome tricks. Will Justin get a 4 wheeler?

Greg, I was wondering if you could comment on your experience using alligator clips to energize the wire/reel? Any reasons why that doesn't work well in your experience, or is it just personal preference? Wrapping the wire seems like it would break down the strand over time.

Do you have any recommendations for makes/models of ATVs?

This video answers questions I've been asking but not getting a reply on. I thought I'd seen all your videos. Somehow YT never showed me this one before. Still curious bout the pigtails--which may forever be a mystery.

On a different note; Greg have you ever considered a Japanese Mini Truck instead of a four wheeler. One of the national parts distributors for mini trucks is located in Jackson, Missouri - G & R Imports. www.GRImports.com Tim @ Cliffside Acres

I just found this channel. Wow! I needed Greg a year ago! Better late than never..where is your farm located?

How long does the hook for the temporary fence wire last against the sun? what about getting brittle& breaking?

Thank you for the detailed videos Greg. Love the Honda products. Would you mind sharing the model you have and if it has been up to the task?

have you ever tried the Gallagher smart fence?

How does the post& wire not break when you drive thrugh the fence?

Hey Greg, silly question but is there a specific brand you recommend for a cargo rack? Trying to get this same setup on my 2013 Honda rancher 420

What spacing do you do on your posts for cattle?

Where do you buy your step in posts?

If I was walking I would be done by now and much healthier afterwards

wow

How to get ahold of some of that rubber?

Where can i buy a terra gate reel?

Something about a true farmer on how they use simple fixes to overcome situations that cuts back time and energy.

Hi Greg Can you go through your internship program. When I hear intern I here no payment ( not no cost but unpaid training. Not a thing in oz which I think is a good). I did like when you mentioned that you would be helping to get a ranch to start them on their own journey. I like that bit. With Ben and Issac now helping and learning on farm I presume they can’t still go home to mum every night. Do you supply accommodation, help with food. Farm life can be 7days how do you balance that with the big question and as politely as possible could you still run enterprises if you had to pay wages for the two interns or could you “realistically” run the farms without them on the intern program. Or is it a case of “Don’t go out and employ people to do your work, you will go broke, just don’t do that.” I’m gunna sign off now so you have a good day folks.

Anyone looking at this should look up Kiwitech.co.nz there is a system invented in New Zealand that’s been used for 30 years that’s 100x more advanced and easy than this. Using exactly the same principles.

Great ideas here. But there are trade offs. First is that this system would probably not work with two or three wires. This means that sheep are not going to work and probably not calves and certainly not lambs. When you can't put calves with their mothers you end up having another herd to move around and all sorts of other problems. Also, a real physical perimeter fence is going to be needed or you will be losing animals. In certain states, if someone hits your animal YOU are at fault. Not only that a calf can destroy thousands of dollars of orchard, garden, etc. in minutes if they are where they are not supposed to be. "Lightweight" systems like this seem very clever on video, and they are, but what isn't made clear is such systems are on the edge of failure and someone needs to constantly monitoring what is happening. If you are like most people and work offsite 8 hours a day and sleep 7 or eight hours...well...you can get annoyed. Where I live wind is so strong that a fence with that degree of slack wouldn't come undone.
