Great Ways to Use the
 
 

Once a year we need to introduce our bucket calves onto pasture.  Here, we have set a tripod (winch corner) next to the gate of the calves' drylot pen, and made a 3-sided enclosure (bringing the Grazier electric rope back to the drylot fence near the shed), with the ropes on the low setting, which extends right out into our yard.  By our just opening their drylot gate, the calves enter their first portable pen. 

This is a great way to introduce the calves to grass and the electric rope at the same time.  This fence took us just four minutes to put up, and since it's end is attached back to the drylot fence, it uses just two standard corners and the tripod, and a few lineposts.

We'll easily move this small pen around on the yard grass for a few days.  And once we've got the calves fully introduced to the pasture, we won't have any fences left behind!
