- Greg gives tour of their new livestock corral construction. With steel cattle panels, treated lumber and treated posts it made a very secure corral.

You might want to keep those chains on the gates, might come in handy in the future. If you wanted to put a hot wire along the inside you could cut some timeless post into pieces, and then lag them to the posts for insulators. The corral looks stout! Really turned out nice with the 2x8 and cattle panels, attention to detail, and good planning. Thank you and have a wonderful day
Yes we use both the chain and gate latch because an animal can spring the gate out of the latch if they hit it hard enough. Don’t ask me how I know that…
@paulmceachin5515 thanks for the tip. I’m getting a chain for when they’re in there😊😊
Thanks Greg.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Our cheif ram is strong enough to lift and break fences if he gets his head under the fence. We learned gentle and slow handling very quick!
What a vast improvement!
Kudos to the Judy crew.
Man the timing of this video couldn't be better greg.... I just put my posts in for a handling yard and didn't considering using a combo of boards with cattle panel on top. that looks really slick.. will also hold my sheep too.
Yes it will!
I can tell Greg you and your wife are so great full for all that you can accomplish. Hard work pays off and you are living proof of that. I watch a lot of People raising cattle and it shows that you got yours the hard way. I admire that you started out with little. It doesn’t amaze me when I see a rancher and you can tell they are loaded with money. Enjoy your corral you deserve it!
We are grateful for what we have. Hard work and doing without until you can pay for it makes a person certainly appreciate it things later on.
Thanks for the tour. Looks great!!
It’s been a long time since I was last here . I don’t know why I have denied myself self the pleasure of you company. It started so long ago when I tried to send a long comment about some memories of my mum twice and the error code came up 40 something or a ruther. . I hadn’t forgot you and Jan and the boys and the others . Every time I saw a notification I thought today I will watch well today’s is my lucky day 😮😊😂🎉❤🎉 see you in the next one and see you in the past ones too when I get the time🤷🏼♀️🍀🌟🌺🌟🍀👍👍👍👍👍👍😘💕💞💕🥰🥰🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🍀🌟🌺🌟🍀👋🏻🧝🏼🤚🏻
We missed you Linda!!!
me too
Good morning Greg.
Rubbing my hands on the phone to try and warm Jan's hands up. 😂
Thank you for the video.
I have had both of those staples. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the barbed ones when I was building my buck pen. The buck I had at the time had almost all those smooth staples popped out! When I rebuilt the pen I went with panel connecters from One Man Fencing. LOVE them!! Staples still have their place, but not necessarily for a buck pen.
I'm doing the same thing ! Ain't life grand ? Your project looks great.
Strong cattle coral, that's great investment
It looks pretty nice sir. But I might add that maybe you could think about putting boards on an angle in your square corners so the cattle don't bunch up there. I did that with ours and it made a world of difference in sorting and keeping them in motion.
Thanks and God Bless
Bud Williams would throw you out of his corral if you suggested that. Bud was the best ever born in handling livestock of any kind.
Cattle when handled properly do much better with square corners than rounded corners.
Love the details and products..helps us with similar projects. Thank you both
We use those staples!😁
Good strong cattle coral for safety Greg even for the most timid cows. I know they won’t be there too long before they back out to pasture. Much love to you n Jan. the girls often ask for you both
Is this the Daniel from Ireland??
Sure is
@daniohara9963 give your girls a hug for us and tell them hi from Greg & Jan. Thank-you both for your genuine hospitality while we were in Ireland! We certainly enjoyed our stay there and you folks made it awesome!!
STRONG Bob Villa vibes on this video. 😆
I'm so excited for the new AbundancePlus course/content! Was the main reason I signed up. BUT the rest of the insane amount of content on that site is mind blowing, and it'll take me months to watch, take notes, re-watch, take more notes, watch again, then watch as I go when applying the knowledge in the content on that site, including what you'll be adding!
It’s like the old timers putting tin coffee cans on the top of their fence posts.
Yep, same principle!
Thank-you both! Love those barbed staples!
Your so funny Greg ole boy like my Pa Pa. It's like watching a history movie. We've been using those staples for years. And we pound those posts with a Hydraulic post driver , (digging is for groundhogs) and use High Tensile woven that is higher, cause cows can launch over. And I love that Jan keeps you on point, cause buddy, you need that in your old age! But you know I'm messin' with ya cause your fans love ya. GW
Handled cows like gregs won't be going over the top of that holding pen
Troy, do any of your ancestors have roots in Bucks County, PA? There the name has only one "p" at the end. Name had been Bischoffsberger many generations ago.
I agree, I definitely need Jan to keep me on point! Ole mighty grass whisperer May the grass be long and green in New York!!
And driven posts don't frost heave!
@@markhowes126they don't?
What a good setup! I hope to someday look back on the videos about this in order to influence my own families farm enhancements. Ya'll are the best!
Setting those posts in gravel makes for a really stout installation, and doesn't rot them out prematurely like setting them in Sakrete does. Nice looking job!
they make 2 inch stockade panel staples, they arent cheap or fun to drive but are awesome
Thank you for sharing.🐂
Great video 😮
Thanks for the video! It sure looks nice. It looks like it could be cold there. It’s been pretty nice here lately.
A small suggestion to think about, possibly running some boards along the back of the green building to keep the cattle from leaning and scratching on it. Tin buildings can be bad about cattle denting them.
Beautiful improvement to your operation. Im visiting Amish County in Holmes County Ohio. So much opportunity for rotational grazing sadly not being done.i drove by one weedy pasture that could be beautiful just down the road there must of been 20 round bales rotting in place. Of course the Amish don't have electricity but could use solar chargers.
...what major improvements have you made to your operation in the last few years...
Love your whole corral system! Had a chance to see it yesterday in person. Very impressive! Thanks for sharing these tips. We'd like to do something similar soon. Very helpful.
What kind of gates are those? They look very heavy duty.
12 foot steel gates. 2” diameter pipe.
Love your videos; can you wear a mic its had to hear the audio (well except for the gate and chains).
Crusher run!
Greg show your viewers how to turn staples when you drive them. So the points spread out rather than in.
Those vehicles don't slow down on the dirt freeway behind you.
Love everything you guys do, but I think on this occasion I don't think your corral is high enough would of gone at least 1ft taller I hope I'm wrong 🤞. I still think you guys are amazing.

If you have cattle jumping out of a 54” high corral, you either have wild cattle or your working them to fast. Heck we build a single 1 wire fence at 30” tall out in the pasture to sort from and it ain’t even charged with electricity. They don’t go through it. Sell the crazy ones and enjoy your life😊😊
First. It looks cold there today.
What is the brand of the gate wheels? Great setup
What did he set the post with? I’ve never heard of that and need to see it spelled out. Sounds like weigh strock
You buy it at rock quarries. It’s called waste rock and it packs tight like concrete
😊
have you people ever considered a drone?...
Your sound level is consistently too low.
great solutions to solve problems and save money.
