NEW FENCE LINE IS GOING UP!!!

Two lines of my new fencing is almost complete. We are building pens for outside mares to stay in when we start our breeding program in the spring.


The outside perimiter of the pens is 66 feet in length and each pen will be 33 ft wide. One of the long pens will be split in 2 to make 33 x 33 ft pens. We will have 5 pens in total. Each pen will also have a small shelter in the northwest corner and individual water troughs.


Doyle, Shayne and Melissa have been working for a day and a half on it. They are working on the back side and then will do the front. The back side of the pens is beside one of our pastures and we want to put Lucky and Lance out there before the snow flies.



They will then work on the front side which will have all the gates in it opening into the yard.. We won't be doing the inside fence lines to make the big rectangle into the smaller pens until early spring.

One other nice thing about re-doing all this is the fence lines will now be SQUARE to the yard and barn, EVEN with each other, and has allowed Doyle to make better alleyways between the barn and the pastures and the yard and the pastures.

I will keep putting pictures up until they are all done.
