FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

[Ferguson K]

I just saw on the breeder page that Briar's Sire, and the buck we bred Junebug to, just earned his superior genetics!!!

That is big for our little herd, too! Can't wait to see what June puts on the ground and especially can't wait to freshen Briar!

Well it's official. We just met out new neighbors.

We met them because Connie apparently went to investigate the moving van.

They drive Ford's and seem reserved. I apologized and ran her home.

Guess it's time to turn the hot fence back on.

Good fences make good neighbors.

 

[Ferguson K]

Exactly. I thought we had Connie proofed it enough. We can't figure out how she's getting out, and this weekend we were going to fix the hot wire. No more excuses. She's about to get a good shock.

we were going to fix the hot wire

And, when you are finished with yours, will you come and do mine? I need my fences to be Cowboy proofed!

 

[Ferguson K]

No no no. Testing mine and getting it working will be enough trouble.

Shots will be fired. One of us is about to be wrong about why it doesn't work past the second corner.

I hope it's not me! LOL

I got so frustrated with mine one day that I started cutting it to isolate the problem. I went to the first corner and cut it, fenced worked, so I put it back together and went to the next corner and so on. I rewired the entire buck pen that day too and that is when I finally found the short. Hot wires are great...until they aren't.

 

[Ferguson K]

I think the short starts in the buck pen. He thinks it's the corner.

Were running new wire completely.

They make testers for that @babsbag !!! You can borrow mine soon as I'm done with the fence. Which needs to be tomorrow.

So.... I finally bought a truck. My first cash vehicle that isn't a hunk of crap on wheels. I'm really excited. John is doing a tune up tomorrow and I'm taking it on a feed run with him on stand by just in case.
