First of all I have a 200 mile charger, a Zareba fence doctor and my three ground rods are actually buried in a trench underground. It has been dry so I periodically run a hose over that trench. Now I check the fencer ever day. In the morning the fence doctor will read 5700 volts. Many mornings...

I am not fence but if this is for me I will answer. We have rolled up various lengths of wire. Up to close to 1/2 mile. Yes the last 100 feet or so it can flop. All we do was simply hold onto the wire the last couple hundred feet. If I had no help one could put a little weight on the end. I...

I brought a manual wire winder from this company. Worked great, rolled the wire, zipped tied it and just like factory roll. It is manual but that is what grand kids are for. Different positions for unrolling and winding. I would give it 5 stars. https://www.msffarm.com

Two things. First one of my sons and a friend buthered a young gelding who had an attitude. They gave us some of the meat. It was very red but tasted fine. My wife refused to eat any but the son's family and friend,s family had no problems, cheap meat as the gelding was free. Also had a relative...

I have a 200 mile fencer and I like it. Our fences go through some swamps. My question is I have a voltage tester and the volts at the fencer will range from 5000 to 6500 volts. But at the far end of runs the voltage may be 9900 volts. What gives? thanks farmguy

I have right now a 6 joule fencer. We have between 10 and 20 miles of actual wire but if we cannot get in to spray fence lines due to rain the weed pressure is great. At times the amps are less than 4.0. I am thinking of going to a 15 joule fencer but is there any negatives to going to such a...

I usually spray annually with roundup. Sometimes weather is not cooperative such as too much rain in low areas. When I do spray fences with roundup they grow back usually in the same year. I was wondering about spraying with Atrazine or Pramitol. Any other suggestions? I want some thing that...

I have discovered that when I wean calves and I am running cattle through the chute I run the cull cows in with the weaned calves for a couple weeks. These are usually old cows, no calf and calm. The effect of the old cows is amazing. The calves start eating grain almost immediately, this is new...

I am with the VA in St. Cloud and Alexandria Minnesota, Viet Nam vet. I can honestly say that I have had no complaints, treated well and in an efficient respectful manner. Alex is a smaller facility so it is much easier to navigate. farmguy

To me the bottom line is it's a choice. I have unfortunately seen people close to me wrestle with these choices. You get in the car, you drive to the bar, store or see the man. Your the one to reach and hand over the money. I also realize that the choice gets harder as time progresses. But at...

We purchased a Real Tuff portable system ( tub, squeeze, alley, cage,). Best designed system I have ever seen. Went to a sale and used stuff went for more than new.
