And one day you will look around and say, "Lordy, just LOOK at all that bee-yoo-tee-full FENCE!" And you will be done and can go into maintenance mode.

I am wanting that mode to kick in fairly quick which is why I'm humping it on this one.

We have a lot of "projects" to do yet. But we are light years from where we started. Your place is so beautiful, what views y'all have!I am wanting that mode to kick in fairly quick which is why I'm humping it on this one.

I finished up the 620' fence line and also three short stretches and hopefully I can at least make progress on the last 320' leg and the last two gates tomorrow depending on the weather. Heavy rain kept us off the field till mid morning.

The temperature has dropped 15 degrees in the last hour and a half. I was working on fence most of the day in shorts and T-shirt but when I went out to the road to check mail a little while ago I had to put on a jacket. While I was out that way I took a couple of pictures. We have one 300' run and about 50' of the first run we did but needed to set a post in cement.

You are going to be SO bored once all the fencing is done

We are hoping to be able to use some of that lumber in the shop that has just been standing in the racks.
We still have the 900' run that is above the fence we are now doing once I decide how I want to do it but that isn't on the schedule as of now.
I thought we had a few weeks worth of clearing the tree line to the left in the second picture but I've been clearing that out with the front end loader so mostly what is left if low branches.

Today was "give Mikes back a break" so I just finished up a few things to be able to run the last of the wire tomorrow and I got the gate hung that joins with the breeders paddock. I stapled and tied off the last 320' leg and rolled out the fence and hope to get that one done tomorrow.
I laid out enough electric netting in the new pasture to give the girls and Ringo some grass that has never been grazed on and they were in heaven.
I had to go out with some feed to lure them back inside the wire for bedding down just before sun down.
