We really need to have more paddocks to rotate sheep through, so we have been building more fence. Even though fence building is hard work, Scott and I both enjoy it. We have even been able to use previously used barbwire and steel posts. Scott had rolled up the barbwire a few years ago using a wire winder. We weren’t sure how easy it would be to reuse it but it unrolled great! He slid the rolls back onto the wire winder and reversed it while backing up with the skid steer. The north-south fence has previously used red posts and the east-west fence has used green posts. We figured that might look better than an alternating color pattern. HA!
The weather was perfect last evening when we were finishing up this stretch of fence. We even started on the other side. Hopefully, we have another beautiful evening this evening so we can finish. The sheep will enjoy their new grass for sure, while the other paddocks get time to regrow.
Blessings,
Jennifer
