Will you have to concrete the posts to the top of the rock where there is no ground for them ?

Usually yeah, problem is stakes and concrete don't mix well, they'll rot fast. So I am mulling over making a concrete "holder" with some sewer pipe concreted in, then drop in the stake and put a wedge in to hold it. Or, drilling the rock and cementing in rebar, then wire the stakes to the rebar.

It's always fun

Until something breaks straining the wire :eek:

If that doesnt qualify a lad for the 2k top UP of GLAS I don't know what will

Would you get a few of them recycled plastic posts for the concrete ?

Some would say we're exceptionally challenged over here, not sure they're always talking about the land

Never thought of the plastic posts. Probably go with the holders as we'd be able to chop and change stakes as needed into the future.

You could make inverted T brackets from steel... and bolt them to the rock and bolt the stakes to the bracket...stakes wont come in contact with the rock then

I had a young lad chomping at the bit to get in at them , he would have turned things fairly easy if he got near them , the other lad codded me again , he told me he had money so I said buy what you want so . When it came to paying he said it was in the Credit union but we could get it on the way home :rolleyes:

I have a friend over the road and he is one of the top Part breeders in the country, he exports all over the world. Anyhow we were talking the other day about killing a heifer for the freezer and I was enquiring about à Part. Forget it he says, he always kills an Angus.

What's the reasoning, lack of marbling?? Is he also breeding Angus or wha?

Parthenay is the centre of Part production. I wouldnt think that all herds are pedigree, but they would be purebred.
Parthenay is not far from me.

Class outfit there Tyson. We landed our 1st purebred part calves over the christmas. They were born from purchased embryos. We got a serious looking Sirex bull and a lovely bull and heifer out of coquin. I think part has alot to offer really looking forward to using more on the commercial herd. Welcome to boards btw
