It's that time of year when we have the annual great electric fence move. It's always absolutely pouring down for this task, probably because one of the prerequisites of the move is that the summer fields are becoming wet and muddy.
I am not the most laid back person in the world, I'm a planner, I like to be efficient and effective...electric fence tape tests my personality traits and resolve on a bi-annual basis when we move field. WHY does it get so twisted when I wound it on and off the reel perfectly!!! Why do the posts look like they're in a perfectly straight line, spaced equidistantly from one direction and like I put them in blindfolded from the other?
My frustration with getting the most aesthetically pleasing electric fence line aside, I do love the move to the winter field each year. I like hunkering down and prepping for winter. Ordering in my haylage, stocking up on bedding, checking fences and cleaning troughs. Call me crazy but I enjoy the winter.
The next month is definitely the autumn honeymoon phase, where the winter paddocks are lush with grass and the sunsets are all golden against the orange leaves. It's getting cooler but you don't look like the Michelin man in 10 layers yet and we're not fishing ice out of water so it's easy to have a rosy view of the season, let's see what I think in February!
Thanks for watching,
Beth
