Constant Battle

We wage a constant battle over trying to keep a water gap over the creek.  Whenever the water gets up, something floats down and takes out the wire.  The cattle are due to move across the creek soon so I went with Joe to help fix the gaps again.

It is a wide expanse.

One strand of barb wire is all we try to keep across it.

I felt sort of bad walking across, the rocks were solid with little snails.  I could feel them crunch under my beach shoes. 

One down and onto the next.  The water is a good deal deeper here. 

But it was no match for Joe and his waders.  But he has to be careful.  Waders and barb wire are not a good match. 

Two gaps back in place.  Now it’s ready for some cattle again.
