Tiff 36 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 tight properly strung barbwire isn't much of a problem, it is the saggy limp poorly hung that is the nightmare! We've had 2 decent tears already this year and the season's not even started Quote Link to post
the fezz 44 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 hate the stuff , my bitch is just back up and running after getting stuck on top of the stuff But it does have a job to do and farmers do need to use it . as long as it is well maintained there should be no problem.

Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 the main thing is that she will recover...was touch in go with my wippet for a while but after 6 months healing and 2 operations later he is ok now and pickin a few...in this pic you can see the scar on his side That is a nasty old wound mate,..but he has obviously made a good recovery.... My wee pal copped a minor tear a while back,.. Occupational hazard I suppose,...but,..its shite stuff..I hate the fecking wire... All the best,.CHALKWARREN... Quote Link to post
