finished the new pasture

finally finished fencing in the pasture!
there's a 1/4 mile of white vinyl fence and 1/2 mile of 5 strande barbed wire fence on 8" poles.
last month I tilled and seeded the pasture. It's taken me until today to finish the fence and gates.
the pasture connects to the corral and the barn around back.
the horses seem to like it!

    holy crap that stuff is expensive! at least you wont be out there in the rain tightening it up. The worksaver post pounder really saved our butt on the last merry go round. My brother and I fenced in 120 acres for beef in wisconsin. Traditional but well done. That fancy stuff is really nice.

    nice work.

    Make sure the neighbors all know about the new wire. I'd hate to hear someone on a sled found it at night!!!![B)][B)]

    Yep. are you close by?

    the grass/weeds in the foreground is part of the old field. the horses and cow are busy mowing it now. the new planting is 4-5" tall now so it will be ready for "mowing" in a week or two.
    I also feed alfalfa, so I can put another couple critters on the pasture.
    have to get a boyfriend for the year old longhorn![:p]

    I wish I could spend as much on ammo as you did for 1/4 mile of white vinyl fence.

    Looks nice, just hope the bar ditch doesn't catch fire...

    the white vinyl was the wifes idea/request (read that DEMAND)
    I would have been happy with a 2 wire electric fence!

    White vinyl is OK if the grass is short arould the fence. White vinal melts in a wildfire.
