Then after the fence is complete we can let the goats go mow down this section of woods.

The eat anything four feet tall and down.

If it works, it works, but that's not a come-along and won't pull as much tension. Probably fine for shorter runs.

I hope you don’t think I was being serious with it being an actual come along.

If you take a second to look at the redneck engineering of putting, “ two 1 x 2s screwed on either side of a welded steel fence pulled by two ratchet straps”I didn’t feel like saying all that in the subject line so I called it, come along fence tightened.


Anyway, it’s the final day, we are now complete with 1800 yards of fencing completed.

It took us four months.

Looks good Stone

I started putting up a fence at my place. Have all the post up but had other things come up and have yet to finish it yet.

I’m just running a two strand barb wire as I’m not keeping animals in but keeping assholes out. I need to go to my wife’s grandparents and get more post (he had pulled probably close to a thousand that he was giving me) and finishing it.

You have the second greatest fence stretcher of all time in the picture (a golf cart).

The greatest is a 12k lb vehicle winch. Put it in park. Tap a few times. Done.

Goats and sheep from wandering away from property during grazing hours of 8am to 6pm.
