Got cabin fever? Are you longing for wide open spaces? This video is for you!

In this video, we're checking fences in preparation for moving our cattle herd to the summer pasture. In the old days, this was known as "riding fence" as it was done from horseback. Our pasture is "virgin prairie" in that it has never been turned by the plow.

First, we load up our Honda side by side and fence wagon onto our stock trailer. It's about an hour drive to the summer pasture, and once there, we get right to work driving along the fences looking for downed fence or unattached fence wire. Along the way there are creeks to cross, rocky hills to climb, and a surprise appearance of several white-tailed deer.

Thank you for watching!

ABOUT ME: My husband and I have a farm in northeast Kansas where we have an Angus cattle herd, and raise row crops (corn and soybeans). Hubby has been farming all his life, but I came late to this farming thing when we married over 10 years ago. My videos show the daily doings on the farm from calving to corn harvest, and everything in between. Farming is a 365 day per year job, all day and sometimes into the night. It is by turns frustrating, exhausting, full of hardship and disappointment. But it also has many rewards, from the glory of a sunrise over a field of corn just popping up in the spring, to watching a newborn calf take it's first breath.
