I would need a quarter-mile cord.

Fortunately our back acreage just has hot wire and T posts, although we don't have livestock on it right now.

Our little dairy goats pens are always super close to our house, so running an extension cord is never a problem.

We were just running some chicken wire around the inside of one of the big pens this morning, to keep the bottle babies from going through the field fencing, and I was wondering how anyone got by without zippy ties?!

I would need about 3 to 4 miles of extension cords,
built a mile and 1/2 last month, of wood post barbed wire fence.

Imagine if they had something like that...



I know those resin coated wood staples do not like to come out of anything (hands included)

I was working as a woodworker and was holding the wood a little too close and I "missed" the wood. Needless to say I had to step on my hand to hold it down to remove the staple with a pair of pliers.

But they would not be used for a job like this (not strong enough)
