Never thought about portable electric fencing. And you bring up something to think about regarding the creek. Mine originates from a spring on the mountain on the corner of my property. Doesn’t flow much during dry spells, but I do have two small impoundments that keep water. It does run underneath my driveway onto another’s property where it just disappears in a boggy area.

I have a friend who raises cattle. I asked him about grass feeding a couple calfs over the summer. He told me to take the money I would spend on buying the calfs and buy beef at the store! *laugh* He said that with what the calfs would cost, likely vet bills, and almost daily tending I would come out ahead.

I bought 1/4 grass fed, grass finished beer last year. If I remember, it was about $4 lb. hanging weight with a $80 butchering fee. I like the stronger taste of grass feed/finished beef. Some don’t, preferring grain finished.
