The Fence…

We are very excited that our fence was finished today. We are most grateful to Jamahl for all his help! Hopefully the cows, and the son, will stay away from the dam now. Jamahl and Monte hard at work  The barb… We are convinced that this will deter cattle (and people) from the fence, despite […]

Fences

In case you are worried about my little wandering son, you’d be happy to know that Monte, with the help of the fabulous Jamahl, is working on the fence, and the blokes reckon it will be completed today! We are very much looking forward to the rest of the fencing being done too. We are […]
