That's right, you're using the goat wire. Either way, they both work and they are both big heavy rolls! Keep pounding T-posts, before you know it, you'll have a pasture done!

Yeah...that is what is so odd....
they keep saying that there is all of this rain...but my sister thinks she has only gotten maybe 3 inches. ..since it started.
It has been raining for forever. .... but slow and steady. ....no scary downpour.Of course we keep comparing it to the flood of 1998...
maybe that is why we are underwhelmed.- Thread starter

They've forecast 40" +\- of rain for a huge swath of east TX. I believe some small localized areas that got rain bands training over them might pick up huge amounts, while other areas that fall between the bands aren't getting as much as forecast. In the end though, I'm pretty sure just about everyone under the storm is going to get plenty of rain.

Been raining steady again for about an hour now.
Guidance on where it's going is really sketchy.
Harvey has drifted east-northeastward since the last advisory.
While the model guidance is not in great agreement, it appears that
the cyclone will drift southward or southeastward during the next
couple of days due to the distant influence of a trough digging into
the eastern United States. After that time, a building ridge over
the Gulf of Mexico should cause Harvey to drift generally
northward. The new forecast track is similar to the previous track
and lies near the consensus models. At this time, the forecast
track keeps the center of Harvey inland, as there is not enough
agreement between the models that the center of Harvey will actually
emerge over water.
Harvey should continue to weaken to a tropical depression during the
next day or so as the cyclone remains inland. As the center nears
the coast, it is likely that the cyclone will maintain that status
for several days as a large amount of the circulation will be over
the water. By the end of the forecast period, the system should be
far enough inland so that Harvey will again weaken. An alternative
scenario is that Harvey could re-intensify if the center emerges
over the Gulf.

Looking at the radar and the whole lower SE corner of TX is really getting wet. Looks like the heaviest continuous is east of I-45 and south of Henderson. The triangle area west of & between I-45, I-35 & I-10 is getting whatever is left as it circulates from the previous area mentioned, west. Looks like SW LA is getting quite wet also. Hope all you BYH folks suffering through this are still doing OK.

Regarding ants getting into your feed storage cans... I've found that putting a few drops of peppermint oil on a paper towel and then putting the towel on top of the feed inside the can and close the can up. I've found the ants don't like the peppermint smell and the oil on the paper towel doesn't seem to affect the feed. Makes the can smell right nice when you open it back up. You don't have to do this forever, just for a week or two.
If the ants are leaving a trail up the can you can wipe down the trail and the rim of the can with the paper towel before putting the paper towel inside the can.
Peppermint essential oil, not peppermint flavoring found in the baking aisle. Orange essential oil is suppose to be good, and is used in the same way.

Teresa sells those oils and said the peppermint oil was also good to put in crawl spaces to repel spiders.
