Rappa - Too much play?

[unlacedgecko]

To much ocd in that photo for me but what's the end cap you've got for knocking in posts? Rappa reel posts are complete junk and made of toffee the amount I've got too bent to hammer in is ridiculous

I carry a old bale tine or a small bar on the wheelbarrow too make a hole first round here if you ain't got a hole you can't make one

I thought you had experience with Welsh sheep?

I’ve chopped off the bent tops on most of mine now, and welded 3” of 40mm box inside the angle.

Another one on the "never ask to do any fencing for me" black list.

How many black lists do you have

I daren’t post some of my fencing, 3 different coloured wires, home made wooden stakes, just about every colour and brand (except Rappa) of plastic stake going!

You're not going to win any competitions with that corner post!

 

[mghley]

Glad I asked the question about corner posts, it’s certainly started an entertaining discussion and a good diversion from the price tracker thread, those cattle boys don’t know what they’re missing !!

 

[neilo]

To be fair, at least @Mc115reed didn’t waste (what was left of) the stake after he’d beaten the cr*p out of it.

 

[Anymulewilldo]

I will add that while my fencing looks very heath robinson, it does keep blackie lambs in well. Most of the blackies are behind 2 strand now. Better than can be said for some of my homebred texel lambs!

How many black lists do you have

Landowners not to work with (growing by the day unfortunately )
Contracting/tack customers not to work with (mainly bad payers. Very very short. I think my high prices and forthright manner puts off most of them before we do any business)
Equipment/input/service suppliers not to use (includes stock agents)
People with sh!t dogs who will not be involved in my breeding program
People who will never buy one of my dogs
People who will never do any work for me (I suspect this one is almost entirely mutual)
General fückwits I try and avoid in all things (I actually have some on ignore here)

I think that's about it.
