So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The General Importance Of Cattle Fencing

By Karen Allen


Livestock containment is necessary for anybody in the business of livestock rearing. This helps the farm owner manage his animals as well as his resources such as pasture and land. Although the initial process can be costly and exhausting, it is important to note that in the long term the costs are worthwhile. Cattle fencing basically is available in various or numerous forms such as physical and psychological barriers.

Containment construction is an integrative process that involves various stages such as planning, choice of materials and budgeting. Planning requires you to determine the location and the area of fencing. This is the initial stage of containment construction. It is in the planning stage that you decide the type of fence desired for your farm. This stage enhances the consequent stages of budgeting and construction.

Barrier types exist in varieties in terms of materials and designs. Building materials such as electric fences, steel barriers, chain links and barbed wire are some of the typical materials ideal for building livestock bounds. These materials will vary in terms of the durability, costs, tensile. Apart from the building materials, it is necessary to ensure you have the necessary equipment to set up the barrier.

Physical containment is the typical approach to management of livestock within a desired area. They are durable especially because they last longer compared to other fences. Additionally, these barriers will provide privacy and security for prolonged periods of time without the need for constant maintenance practices. Of them all the most prominent advantage is the ability to thrive harsh weather and climatic conditions such as storms and winds.

Psychological containment is another ideal approach to livestock management and control. For this mode of fencing, electric fences are the most ideal material to use. This method is effective since it controls the animal by causing pain to a particular extent that creates reluctance in the livestock to approach the barrier. By so doing, the animal is drastically trained to be aware of the limits in the confined space.

This does not mean that electric barriers are not ideal permanent barriers, but culturally they are often applied as temporary confinement in farms where the barrier needs occasional relocation for rotational grazing. This is an ideal option especially because in enhances management of pasture and land, Better yet, these fences promote the ability to control stock breeding.

Electric barriers are comparatively less costly than physical options. Additionally they are easier to set up and relocate when necessary. Another advantage electric barriers have over others is their adaptability to rugged terrain. Moreover, these barriers are highly beneficial in keeping predators at bay. I mean, you would not want to get back from town to find your livestock slain by a beast.

However, electric barriers are not entirely advantageous, as they demand more maintenance compared to the physical options. You can therefore strengthen the barriers using high tensile gauges and compression springs so they can withstand harsh conditions. Their dependence on power availability is also a turn off, although you can substitute hydro electric power with solar power. Therefore based on the complexity of the boundary marking process, it is always wise to seek professional intervention.
