Wtched 2 bucks at a pen I fenced in this spring last week. One of the bucks was easy to reconize, call him Bob since he has half a tail and is a 4 year old. The other buck with him was at least 2 or 3 years older. bob went into the eeder pen while his older companion stayed outside the fence. The pen might be a little small with 7 cattle pannels in a circle so it is a little over 45feet in diameter



lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I have the same problem with driving "T" posts and this is what I came up with. The hog panel frames are made of one inch (sixteen gauge) square tubing and the connectors are three quarter inch square tubing. For the connectors that are on the ground I have drilled two half inch holes before welding the three quarter square to the strap and cut twelve inch stakes of one half inch round bar so I might be able to stake the connectors. I make the connectors at least six inches long and wide enough to get a ball pein hammer between the panels for disassembly. One person can handle a sixteen foot section but a helper will be treasured. Cost of materials for one panel was about $45. I had planned to drag up a few old telephone poles and wire them to the panels but it has not been necessary. This pen is 32' X 48'. Set up time is about 3 beers.
