The Fence is Completed!

One-half mile of barbed wire fence keeps the cattle out of the 16 acres of woods in the back forty of the
Home Place.    The Missouri Conservation Department encourages fencing of woods for promotion of quail and other wildlife.   Cows eat down the undergrowth that serve as food and cover for wildlife.  Then, too,    maintaining the fence will be easier for Richard.   Trees fall over the fence that runs through the woods and over wet weather creeks, making it hard to repair.      A tremendous work project which was only completed with the cooperation of family members.
