Oh yea, we are doing our best to build a sustainable homestead in central Texas raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits…. and hopefully more!!!!!

Joe Salatin is so knowledgeable. He is one of my favorites. As long as your fence is functional that is what is important. This looks like a great system.
Couldn't agree more!
Yes! Full cow rotation video!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alrighty then, Coming soon!
@@BetterTogetherLife thank you!!!!!!
The concrete pier and post could be useful around your pond. Rain gauge, level monitor, fish structure, etc. there’s some use there for it.
Oh that’s a GREAT IDEA!!! Even just the fish structure is a super easy one. Thank you!!!
You could make a laundry line for drying clothes. Or posts for a dog run.
Great idea!
I would like to see the steps on how you installed the ratchet and wire. Thanks you for sharing
Dayum, this looks awesome!!! Just spray the orange plastic dark green lmao, simple fix.
Oh that’s a great idea! Haha, not sure why I didn’t think of it being that easy. 🤣
I had an idea for the wooden post stuck in concrete: you cut the wood off the concrete at the same spot as you did with the one you have to drive over, and use the wood however you want, then take the concreate block and just use it how you would use a rock. concreate blocks are basically man-made rocks.
maybe the concreate could be a fish structure?
That makes sense! Great idea!
You could use the old concrete post and built a Small Pier for your pond.
Cool idea, thank you!!
I like using Wedge-Loc system. Works the same but is metal.
Oh cool, I’ll have to check that out.
I find fencing videos so helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! I’ll be sure to make another one soon. 😁
I can appreciate the time it took to develop and test it, and it may work for the bulk of the homesteading and hobby community, but it's not a good enough solution for some. I'll be interested to see how it holds up.
May I ask why it wouldn’t work for some?
I’ll tell you from experience it holds up well. I’m in central Texas ROCK soil. I only have about 8” of top soil. I’ve had this exact system for almost 4 years as my perimeter system and has little to 0 maintenance. I’ve been extremely impressed and happy.
@BetterTogetherLife Some folks have larger animals that can put a lot of pressure on wire if they want, and will pop those posts out of the ground. That, and with the ease of cutting posts and length of time the right posts last, it's just not as good in some areas of husbandry. We've talked about several similar systems in the same groups and they don't hold up well for some. But, for 95% of the steaders and hobby farmers, it will probably work fine.
I hear ya! “95% of the time, it works EVERY TIME!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BetterTogetherLife Lol
Hey!! I love it!! It turned out great!
I know right?!! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
Please make a video about the timeless fence
Deal! I’ll probably try to make that next week. 😁👍🏻
Plant an old fashioned rose bush in front of it. What angled piece of metal? All I see is a rose bush putting on a show!!!😊
Haha, nice!!! Great idea
Thanks!!!
You bet!
Look at that gizmo, what a time saver🎉. JO JO IN VT 💞
Absolutely!!
Let us all know in a year how those plastic pieces hold up to the brutal southern sun. I've used the aluminum WedgeLoc products for the same as you just did here in Florida and I wonder how the LockJawz compares over time. I like LockJawz products, I have the T-360 wrap around insulators and I've been looking at some of their newer products. The spring wire clips and the 5.0 extended insulators that clip onto the fencing, not the t-post, are my next purchases.
Absolutely!
I’ve been using the exact same system for nearly 4 years and it’s still in full operation on 21 acres with a number of paddocks. I’m near Waco Texas and it’s held up great! If I needed to replace it, it would only take a few minutes, but I haven’t needed to yet.
Thank you. That is so much easier for corner bracing. Will be utilizing these for my fencing paddocks. As to the cement, they could be used as cement supports force shed to support and keep it off the ground. Sort of like footer. Not sure what you call them. Since it has wood in the middle you can build and na into them for building the floor area of shed. I am not great at getting ideas across but hopefully I came close.
Glad it was helpful! And yes, great ideas for the posts!! Thank you Joyce
Would that work for any kind of fence?
Sledge hammer on the concrete.
Haha, that’ll do it!
I cannot find the link for the device to make the corner fence
Here’s their site. Since it’s not sponsored at all I didn’t really want to put a link in the description. www.lockjawz.com/products/lockjawz-t-post-corner-brace-kit-orange-cb-360
If I was going to use electric fence I would definitely use the Timeless Fence corners. They are estically a better choice. They will last forever. And no need for insulators.
I thought so too. YES they look great, but after speaking with Morgan Gold from Goldshaw Farm he said that they are made terrible. That they can not support ANY tension on the fence. So once you begin tightening the wire, the corners begin to buckle and fall inward. Because they are made out of the exact same material as the posts. Which are also "bendy".
@@BetterTogetherLife That is incorrect I designed the corner system for Timeless and if you install it correctly it will hold any fence material. I have been installing it for years and the test farm it was tested at 2000 pounds of tension. We hang gates on them. If you want to see it installed correctly check out our videos. Whoever is telling you they are not strong hasn't installed them correctly.
Well, you might want to check with at least 3 of your customers. One of them is my Timeless dealer down here in Lexington Texas, and then of course Morgan Gold from Goldshaw Farm here on KZhead.. All 3 people said they were a waste of money. 😕 Sorry to say that, and zero offense. Just honest feedback. I haven’t used them. Because my Timeless Fence dealer told me to never buy them
Sorry @highdeserthomestead I had the timeless corners and I totally agree with Beau. They do not hold up, they do not support tension when properly installed. I worked with timeless directly and did exactly what they said and they eventually just agreed it wasn’t going to work for my situation. The lockjawz has been much better and easier to work with.
@@hoofandpeck Then their quality must be a lot worse than it was just a year ago. I have them on my place and have installed them for a long time. But it has been a year since I have purchased any. In had a lot of back stock.
Could you use cattke oannel instead of high tensile wire
Well, it would be way more expensive. And not much harder to install. But sure, you can build whatever fence you wanna build! 😁😁
@@BetterTogetherLife it's because I want to keep goats .. I'm not to sure that wire would work... I'm a newbie just bought a farm
Yes you can electrify aluminum wire with maybe 5-8 strands and be totally fine with goats. That’s exactly what I do and I have this exact system. I wouldn’t recommend this with cattle panels. The cattle panels provide a similar level of strength and this would be redundant. This product is just for tightened wire.
@hoofandpeck thanks for your advice it's much appreciated...
