Drought Forcing Me to Change EVERYTHING! Here's the Plan!
What happens here
Drive an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) along the existing electric fence lines of the designated new pasture section. Visually inspect the fences for any damage, downed wires, or gates that are not properly closed. Confirm that the water tanks (repurposed tire water tanks) contain sufficient water and that the goldfish (used for mosquito control) are present. Use a portable electric fence controller (Razer Grazer) to ensure the fence is electrified.
Goal: Ensure electric fences are intact and water is available in the new pasture section.
