We went for a walk the other day on a portion of our land that we seldom get a chance to observe.
It's roughly 2.5 acres that slopes down towards a creek that passes through the Northwest corner of our property.
While exploring we came across an old barbed wire fence that had been swallowed up by growing trees.
The cool thing about this is that the barbed wire was as taut as the day it was installed, perhaps even more so. The posts that originally held the wire were made out of deteriorated cedar logs.
I followed this old fence for about 250 feet until it lay in piles of barbed wire detached from what once held it.
Now, were thinking of utilizing this existing fencing as part of a paddock shifting strategy to get our Ossabaw Island Pigs moving around on the land so they can do what they were created to do. Obviously, we'll need to run a couple of hot wires to deter them from just digging under the bottom strand, but figure we might as well work with what is already here.
What would you do with this barbed wire fence? I'd love to hear your collective creativity.
Thanks for Reading!
As Always,
