But, I believe it's a small percentage that he chooses to live with, rather than embellish his fencing. <br /><br />He runs his cattle year-round with a bull & does very little intervention. So, they are somewhat of a "Darwinian" herd, in that all sorts of factors drive them towards hardier and hardier stock. Including the coyote presence: calves that aren't on the run quick, or mamas that don't birth quick or are under-protective will experience natural selection right out of the gene pool. It seems to work pretty well for him!<br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-35474426967986706472009-07-22T07:12:48.229-07:002009-07-22T07:12:48.229-07:00Will you also do a post about stretching field fen...Will you also do a post about stretching field fencing?

We are going to put up woven all around our property to protect sheep, due to amazing amount of people who have loose dogs in the neighborhood. No one around here seems to believe in fences to keep their dogs contained.Robinhttp://farmfolly.comnoreply@blogger.com
