Fence work today

Deer riddled the fence in the bottom pasture last night. Caught their hind legs in the top strand when jumping over and breaking it off the corner post. Electric fences won't keep deer out and they can go through or over without getting caught or hurt. But they can do some damage to the fences, breaking post and wire, and it happens alot. It's pretty much a safe haven for them to get away from predators to have their fawns, just stay away from the Pyrenees. So I spent several hours pulling and stretching wire then twisting to get it back on the post. Just another job in the day of the life of a sheepherder.
