Which brings me to the second thing on my list.
Good source of farm auctions. I’m cheap so when I am in need of some farm supplies I check out the local farm auctions. Chances are they will not only have what I’m looking for but I’ll be coming home with a bunch of stuff I didn’t even know I needed.
Now I have the means to transport and the supplies to build.
So off I go. The first thing was to set up my fence. I talked to a lot of people and learned one thing fast. The guys at the farm supply store want me to build a fence designed to hold a bull elephant. I sat down and with the help of my wife we came up with a plan to build on the cheap. 1st. We started by calling around to the different supply stores and came up with a price list of all items I needed. 2nd. We made that into two lists. One with the items we can buy used and one with a list of items we want new. The new item list was short. If I remember right it was electric fence aluminum wire. 3rd. We hit the auctions.
