Good Gates and Fences—-May 15, 2014

The Run*A*Round Ranch is hosting Good Fences and Gates on Thursday.  I’m about to run out of really cool fences here, but I do have a couple more of cool gates.  I’ll just show this one that I think is really cool on our place

gate-5

It’s the oldest gate and fence on our place.  Going way back before 1930.  Our farm has always been in Terry’s family.  Terry’s grandfather started a Dairy here (it was the first and only dairy in Delta for years.  Our farm is five miles from the edge of town …  to keep the smell and flies from bothering towns people.)

After his grandfather retired from the dairy, the farm then raised beef cows.  We purchased the farm from the estate and continued having cows ….we milked a cow for us, raised spring’n heifers for other dairies, and in the last beef cattle.  Now we are cowless, but our farm still is winter a home for beef cows.

So this fence and gate still does that same job it was created for many, many, years ago!

Head over to The Run*A*Round Ranch and check out all the fun and unusual fences and gates over there.
