looks like hot work buddy....y'all stay safe out there...we've been building fence on our farm for the last few weeks....parameter fence woven wire ...building the herd to about 50 so we can start intensive grazing with polybraid
When I drive Timeless Posts, I use a pounder that I welded an extension on the pipe at the right length so that when it bottomes out on the ground the post is at the right hight. I never measure a single time
Had a day that was fairly challenging. After settling down for the evening. Will look what Mr. Judy has. A piece of cake. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks!
Hi Greg. A thought to save some time. Get a gauge stick or permanent mark on you driver to check you post height instead of stopping and measuring with a tape. Thanks for all the videos!
As I've seen in a another video of Greg's, probably with a different post (undrilled I think) they've learned to drive them until the driver hits dirt. No measuring at all-until time to drill--and then I'd have a stick cut with notches or holes to guide the start of the holes. I
I would leave the driver on the post and tape measure ( or even have a measured stick) to the bottom of that saves putting it on an off if it need another bash or 2
@@graemesinclair3762 hey there sinclair are you trying to make an argument, please complete your thought for us all. We may need your wisdom, respectfuly thank you and please forgive my spelling.
i have a place on my body, as u suggested and drive to that. same with poly wire height top of my boot and the side of my knee, for my 2 poly wire sheep fence--we have donkeys for guard animals so need the 2nd wire.

You should keep some elecrolytes like Ultima packets or NUUN tablets or something like that for emergencies. I've done first responding at events and people get busy with what they are doing and they forget to add electrolytes until it is nearly too late. Having some on hand is a great way to de-escalate a bad situation (possibly in a first aid kit on the 4x4). You guys are out every day in the heat and you do make sure even your cattle get minerals.
Deer broke off my 4x4 wood (not rotted), posts. Ground Hornets 🐝 Stung them along the fence line. And them deer Jumped and snapped those 4x4s like they were nothing. Glad I wasn’t standing near those deer. But I got Stung something Fierce too. Spent a day at the hospital.
What is the recommended post spacing and wire heights for cattle perimeter fencing? My cattle are highlands and not all are trained for electric fence.
Greg (or others), I’m planning my own high tensile fence currently and I’m wondering how often, or at all, do you place an H brace on fairly flat and straight terrain?
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Do you still use two strands for sheep and cattle nowadays? At 9:10 you said that your sheep fence is at 10.5 inches-what is your cattle fence height at?
Greg, I would love to get my hands on some of these post in this video. Am I able to just come through or need appointment? With is nice as it's been here in Missouri, I would love to get my high Tensile started
I built a 5 wire perimeter fence for my wooly sheep and I used the 1.75" x 4.5' Timeless post. I had some pretty soft ground so I wanted to get the post root pretty deep in the ground. Top wire at 31" and bottom at 3". It's working so well, I think it's a bit overkill

Is it better to thread the high-tensile wire through the pre-drilled holes or tie the high-tensile wire to the post with the soft 12-gauge wire in a woods? Which method of fastening the high-tensile wire to the post holds up better when a tree or limb falls on the fence?
Either method will work. We have fence erected through woods with each fastening method. We just cut a big tree limb off of our Timeless fence last week. The fence was laying over pretty well with the limb weight on it. Once we cut the limb off, the fence posts popped right back up to its original position. I love Timeless Posts, they are simply the best post made in my opinion!
