I lived in Florida for a while and ached everyday to git back home! I will keep the tails coming! Did you see the post about the Vermont Post office that needs everyone to send them postcards ? <br />Can you send a few and spread the word ?

Now we live in MT and your photos make us homesick. Please keep the tails coming:) we can't wait for a herd of our own! Until then we'll keep enjoying yours.heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843375018411776381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588065594023489285.post-83515072526837854942013-03-01T22:19:00.974-05:002013-03-01T22:19:00.974-05:00Thank you for joining in 'Rurality Blog Hop #4...Thank you for joining in 'Rurality Blog Hop #4' Hope to see you next Wednesday for #5...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588065594023489285.post-19211541158669334312013-02-28T11:43:32.659-05:002013-02-28T11:43:32.659-05:00Clever!

Any guesses where each & every downed limb will fall? That's right - ON THE FENCE! I believe it's the unspoken ranching law...

So they are a mess right now. I don't believe I've ever seen them this bad. But fortunately, there aren't animals in them.<br /><br />We use only sacrifice areas in winter, and those areas are protected from snow removal, for the most part.<br /><br />We did have 2 casualties dueto the truck's plow: the corner of the chicken pen, and a post in the house yard fence. The house yard fence will wait til spring, and the chicken pen was cobbled so it works.Pam R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10198244361708075844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588065594023489285.post-57993240157874970832013-02-28T05:45:57.555-05:002013-02-28T05:45:57.555-05:00Very creative solutions to your problems with the ...Very creative solutions to your problems with the broken posts.

I suppose there really is quite a bit that can be written about living and working on a farm. The animals probably provide endless entertainment, if one can look at it that way while doing the work. I love the cattle feeding frenzie in your last post. And fixin' a fence in freezing weather is just plain hard work. You came up with a very creative solution. Love your header image. Really captures the character of the place.

That kind of fence wouldn't slow my goats down. My cattle have been known to be on the honor system, which works amazingly well.
