You people are all nuts. Funny nuts, but nuts. I do not have funny nuts. Mildly humorous, maybe, but not funny.

Ok. I can't figure out why you need barbed wire fencing anyway? I mean; there ain't any buffalo around anymore. No wolves. (though wolves don't usually eat corn anyway). Plus all the cattle are already fenced in by themselves. I mean, losing a cow is a lot more expensive than losing a row of corn, so i figure any cattleman has his herd under control. Sheeps and pigs are similarly controlled. No horses anymore. No elephants either. And that fence won't keep out dogs and burrowing critters. Racoon probably laugh at it. Crows just cruise on by. Insects don't even know it's there, let alone care.
What the heck do you need a fence for anyway? To keep little children out? Or is it to keep the corn in?

Marshall, that's woven wire, not barbed wire. And if it wasn't there, the cows would wander around all over the countryside. You can't have that. They have to be contained. Unless you want them wandering around roads and highways and people's yards and eating up the crops.

And don't get me started on thier unpaid bar tabs.

We also need fences so birds have a place to sit and poop out mulberry seeds. Without fences, there would be no mulberries to cut down.

The end product of mulberries after it passes thru a bird is kind of hard on a cars paint job.

Were you able to kill it in less than 40 hours?

Village, I had to spend some time with my mulberry tree yesterday talking about life and not life. It took a while but MT is reasonably happy to know that you live several days west of here. You and your blue stuff. The birds were all happy just knowing that MT will be around next year with its fruit and shelter right beside the feeder. The Chickadees wanted me to send you quite a lot of little frownies.

I've avoided mentioning this, but I ate an awful lot of mulberries as a kid. The dark purple kind.
