We’re very new in our journey into rotational grazing and regenerative agriculture. I’m someone who likes to think things through (and about 5 or 6 steps ahead) so anticipating where all my fence connections, gates, etc. need to be is a pretty daunting task. That’s why when I bought this pre-spooled polywire reel I deliberately did as little thinking as possible so the wire would get up as soon as possible. Now it’s time to move our steer and I’ve got to rework a few things that will make future moves a little easier.
One thing I’ve learned about this reel is that I bought it with WAY too much wire. I have had some serious backlash that makes me regret my life decisions (kidding). The way to fix this is to either cut the wire off the reel now and stash it somewhere for future use or just deal with it and cut short pieces off as they are needed elsewhere.
And just to be clear, I love this reel and have no complaints about it. My mistake isn’t a negative reflection on the reel, and I’ll be adding more as the need arises.
Soon we’ll be doing a follow-up on the pasture the steer moved out of. I think it will be a good way to show why you want to avoid overgrazing on particular spots (hint: weeds).
