This one was a blessing to encounter!
I recently mentioned how we are checking out some other homesteads in the area and meeting up with some people who are raising Jacob's Sheep as well. Along the way, we are learning all sorts of things, and this is one that I really appreciated!

A SIMPLE WAY TO MAKE AN EASY TO USE GATE IN CATTLE PANEL FENCING
On our homestead, we are using a lot of cattle panels to make some tough fences. Sometimes we have to move animals from one side of the fence to another, and when we do, it can take some effort. I don't want to spend a lot of money buying pre-made gates, so I've been just wiring them shut and then undoing the wire when I need to open them. Not any more!
Then I ran across a guy who was using these clips to secure the cattle panels together. They would not only be held tight and secure when not being used as a gate, they are easy to open when you need to move animals through them! This is a great, and cheap, idea! I love practical, easy, and inexpensive solutions!
Monster Truck the Pepper and I made our first gate this way today on the homestead. Soon we will replace them all. This will save a lot of time since I no longer have to unwrap and rewrap wire every time we move animals through. Also, these will last a lot longer too!
As always, I'm
