Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Rural Living Trearing Out Old feedyard Fence.

The way things go at Wabigoon land, and cattle.

The fence built in the mid 80's had patches, on patches, on patches, Cattle out, hurry up, and let's go.

A I've said, once the crop is out, then we go to work.

Last fall late we pushed in 5"x 8' posts, and did not get any further. A couple of weeks ago we put some continuous panel pipe panels on with lag bolts in a sea of manure, and mud.

Then to get the old fence out from the back side through the dead trees.
Not many pictures, the mess was an embarrassment.

This is the pile of snarled cattle panels.

A job in itself cutting the mess, and loading in the scrap wagon.

I think i remember pictures.

When you buy that new fencing, you don't like to think about it turning into junk.

I usually find those old cattle panels with my shredder, in tall grass and weeds where someone dragged them out of the way...

Bet your new feedlot pens will last longer!

Seems like we always make the replacement better than the original.

I hate cleaning up old fencing. Have some I need to do, and have been putting it off simply because I do not like messing with it.

Yes, we still have a pile from three year ago. Rail ties, silo rods, a mess, and too close to the barn to burn them.

The new fence.

I'm looking at re-doing the shipping pens in continuous panels next spring....

No such thing as 'being to close to the barn to burn'. They'll burn just fine, right where they are.

(just kidding)

Several years ago a fellow I know burned his barn down. Had a pile of old truck and tractor tires about 30-40 ft outback of his barn. Instead of moving them to a better place, he decided to burn them where they were. They burned alright and so did his barn.
