Fencing in the Herd: Part 1

The Herd is getting a fence! And since this is such a big part of our lives right now and will be taking place over the next 4-6 weeks I thought I would start a mini blog series about our fencing adventures!

Part 1: The Takedown

When trying to save every possible penny on the cost of the fence you might find that you have to do a lot of the work yourself. Enter Zippercow

Our rather large fence will require a rather large chunk of money (one that is larger than what we have)  so we will be taking out the nuisance trees and moving rocks (again) out of the way of the fence line so  we can save a little money. I say “we” but as with most of our large undertakings my role (mostly) is to keep children out from under foot (or falling trees). Zippercow is a trooper for sure! This was one of his first tasks. Notice the pile of trees as tall as our son? That’s only part of it.

Just think, in a couple years Little Moo will be old enough to play along and pretend daddy is cutting him down.

It’s just the beginning. Stay tuned for more riveting stores of Fencing In The Herd!
