Fencing (Thoughts)

• We build the fence and then must decide if we are fencing something out or fencing ourselves in.
• Is there some kind of fencing that will hold both horses and the subsequent weeds on over-grazed paddocks?
• Following the rolling earth, the rises the falls of grassy hills, or even running straight as the flight of an arrow through a mile or more of scrub, a fence can be aesthetically pleasing.
• Is the difference between a gate and a door the same as the difference between a fence and a wall?
• Open range states, like Montana, follow a system of "fence-out" laws. According to these laws, landowners are generally responsible for fencing their property if they want to keep livestock, such as cattle, out.
• Deer will not respect a low fence.
