Welcome drivesitfar. This is the real world everyday thread that each tells a little about what is happening in each of our micro worlds. Anything new to share or advice is welcome, there is always a new topic or problem to discuss, or just neighbors helping neighbors. Oh yes, tractor talk is welcomed with owners and ex-owners and like you probably future owners, there is a deep well of knowledge here. If we don't know it we can direct you to the thread to post it on if you have not already figured it out. TBN is very helpful.

43°F and foggy again this morning, going up to 54° today.
Bummer about your fence situation, Kyle. Your neighbor doesn't sound very ... neighborly. We had a new neighbor move in on the property to the south of us about five years ago. He brought horses. First thing he did after introducing himself and his family was inform us he would be replacing the sections of fence adjoining our property with stouter fencing (he actually did this all around his property). The existing wire fence had been there for about 40 years, and had not been well-maintained on either side. We offered to pay half, but he refused, saying it was for his horses. He paid for materials and labor. He also installed new electric fence wire just inside the new fences about two years ago, to keep the horses from chewing up the trees along the property line. That was kind of a bummer, because now the horses won't come close enough for some attention at the fence.
Hope you can find an amicable solution with your neighbor.

Couple of interesting things lately.
Stopped at Sam’s Club optical. Lenses in my glasses have been making noise when I move around. Found lenses were not tight in frame even with screws tightened down tight. New lenses on order.
Made a order at Rural Kings weekend before last. It never showed up. Got ahold of customer. Order had a label. But was never received by USPS. Today 2 packages showed up.
Got a statement for power company this morning. Saying my bill was overdue. Seems they canceled my auto pay when I gave then a new bank account number. Their mistake. But they wanted it to be my problem. Took 4 very loud calls to get them to admit they made a mistake and were going to fix my account to correct error. I still have to pay the bill.
Dr ordered a ultrasound of GI. That’s what today’s visit was. Have to wait a day for report.

Morning all, hope everyones ailments turn out for the good.
Kyle,
Our fences up here it is mainly on the cattle owner to maintain them,
if both places had cattle it was quite common for each one to do half the footage of the common fence.
We have pretty much quite using barbed wire,
the dairy cows respected it and didn't bother it much.
With all beefers now we have gone to high tensile steel with electric fencers,
most all of the perimeter fences are 5 strand, inner fences only two or three.
We attach all of our wires on the cattle side of the fence.
If the wires are on the non animal side they can get pushed off easier when the cows get to pushing
and shoving each other.
Up here shared fences are only cost shared when both parties have livestock in the fields.
