Fencing, fencing, fencing...

One of the major jobs on the farm is to make the fences stock proof. We are slowly working our way around and getting this done. The Sifunda kids are being a great help with this and seem to be enjoying it. It is quite satisfying to see the long line of metres of fencing all looking neat and effective! The next big job to finish is putting in the water troughs so that once all the fields are fenced, each field has water.

Fences with holes in lead to wandering cattle and sheep! Early one morning this week, Andrew called me having only just left the house, to say we had some cattle on a road trip! So I nipped out and we put them back in their field. Couldn't see a hole in the fence. Mmmm? Later on that day, a lady very kindly called at the farm - our cows and Eddie the bull had broken out of their field again and wondered back down to the barn! Bless! So we put them in the field at the back of the barn and have had another look for a hole in the fence. We think we have found it now!! All good fun!
