Mom and I have been helping Dad
For some strange reason, some of the wires on the gate were cut—so Dad had to fix them.
Then some wires on the fence next to the gate were cut—so Dad fixed them.
Then we hung a new gate! Sure is nice.
When we all drove by the pastures and looked them over—Nice! Dad proclaimed
Then it was home again after a good day’s work.

I did my part also. Pats always make the day go better for everyone.

Teresa hosts a Good Fences and Gates every Thursday, which is always lots of fun. Her post today has a beautiful Texas sized Gate complete with stunning art work.
When we were up working on the artery ditch (that takes off from the headgate) I thought I would show you a very functional/typical gate here on our farm—- and most of the farms around us who have cattle. Looks just like the fence.
You have to slip a wire off the top pole to open the gate, then lay the gate down flat (or it will get in a huge tangle); then you can drive through.
It isn’t pretty, folks! But it does do the job!
For more gates and fences head over to Teresa site and check out they ones people have entered. Better yet–take some photos of your own and link your site to hers! All in good fun!
Your farm friend,
