In this episode, Tom breaks down the real difference between going independent and plugging into an established brand. He shares how he went from signing up to every lead app under the sun to managing a flood of enquiries. And why, within his first 2 to 3 weeks, he'd already quoted $200k to $300k worth of work.We also get into:Why he watched Jim's for 5 years before making the jump.What changed immediately once the brand was on the shirt.How he approaches pricing when you're no longer racing to the bottom.The fencing jobs he's focusing on right now (Colorbond and timber).The mindset piece.

Osteopathie und Physiotherapie sind sinnvoll, wirken aber nur dann wirklich nachhaltig, wenn das Training und der Alltag danach konsequent angepasst werden, betont @Horst_Becker, Ausbildner für Klassische Dressur. Im Podcast-Gast AUF TRAB erklärt Horst, wie man mit Traininng sein Pferd im Winter präventiv gesund halten kann. „Müde machen" ist jedenfalls nie eine Lösung. Es geht um Schulterfreiheit durch richtiges Aufwärmen im „Bummeltempo" und um sinnvolles Longieren statt zu schleudern. Er warnt vor „Kaltstarts", also das Pferd im Winter unaufgewärmt auf der Koppel oder in der Halle rennen zu lassen. Ebenso wenig sei den Pferden mit „wandern" geholfen. Damit meint Horst, wenn man mit seinem Pferd nur spazieren geht, die Muskeln nicht trainiert und zu wenig galoppiert. Pferde hätten im Winter oftmals auch deshalb Schulterprobleme, weil die Besitzer die Eisen in der kalten Jahreszeit runterreißen, wo doch der Boden noch dazu im Winter härter ist . Das Gehen verursacht dann dem Pferd Schmerzen, das als Reaktion die Schulter hochzieht und fest macht. Ebenso sei zu beobachten, dass Pferde, die im Winter eine Decke tragen grundsätzlich öfter in der Schulter fest sind. Horst vermutet, dass die Decken vorne am Hals zu eng sitzen und einschnüren. Deshalb sind die Decken von Barockreitern am Hals extraweit. Für ein gesundes Winter-Training empfiehlt Horst Becker einen Stangenkreis bzw. Pentagon mit fünf bis sechs Stangen aufzulegen und das Pferd rund herum übertreten zu lassen. So erzeugt man eine Rotation im Pferderücken. Man kann die Schulter grundsätzlich gut über Biegungen öffnen. Auch das Fencing wie man es im Horsemanship kennt, hilft die Schulter zu öffnen: An der Bande - geritten oder am Boden - die Schulter wegtreiben statt an den Zügeln zu ziehen. Auch Galopp öffne die Schulter. Gemeint ist kurz, ruhig, balanciert zu galoppieren und wieder zurück in den Trab zu gehen. Eine Steigerung wäre dann noch Außengalopp für das Gerade-Richten.Wichtig sei auch auf den Takt zu hören. Der Viertakt im Schritt als Indikator - eine felhlende Anlehnung im Schritt kann auf eine feste Schulter hinweisen. Eine sehr informative und nette AUF TRAB-Podcastfolge, die einfacht gehört gehört. Wer ein Training mit Horst Becker live erleben möchte hat dazu vom 6. bis 8. März im wunderschönen Festschloss Schlosshof im Marchfeld/Niederösterreich die Möglichkeit. Leider sind alle aktiven Teilnehmerplätze schon vergeben, es gibt aber Zuschauertickets : 25 Euro + Schlosseintritt für einen und 50 Euro + Schlosseintritt für alle drei Tage.

Wireless fencing is technology being adopted by some farmers and it could make rotational grazing an option for more people since it lowers the amount labor needed to move electric fences. This week I visit with a farmer who is not only rotationally grazing his cows and calves, but he’s also using it as an opportunity to better utilize crop residue and use some unique intercropping systems in his Illinois corn fields.

The city of San Diego is suing the federal government over their construction of wire fencing on city-owned land in Marron Valley, near the U.S.-Mexico border.The lawsuit accuses federal agencies of trespassing and causing environmental damage on protected land. "They are taking city property without telling us, without paying for it, without even communicating about it," said San Diego City Attorney Heather Ferbert. "They have to comply with the Constitution, even though they're the federal government. They're not exempt from that."On Midday Edition, we breakdown the lawsuit and the allegations.Guest: Tammy Murga, environment reporter, KPBS

Title: Rob Charlton on Why NCAA Fencing Is Within Your ReachSeason 2, Episode 20In this episode, Bryan talks with Rob Charlton — head coach of Wellesley College and a club coach at Five Points Fencing Academy — about why many more fencers are “good enough” to fence in college than they realize, and how to navigate the NCAA landscape without getting overwhelmed.In this episode, you'll learn:The most common misconception Rob hears: “Am I good enough?” — and why the answer is often yesWhy there's no universal “cut line” for NCAA fencing (and why it depends on the school, weapon and year)How coaches build rosters across four years — and how study abroad, injuries and attrition affect recruiting needsWhat Division I vs. Division III can look like in training time, travel and season structureHow athletic scholarships actually work (and why Division III schools can't offer them)The value of looking at the full financial picture: merit aid, need-based aid and total costThe walk-on/tryout path — and why Rob still recommends engaging the recruiting process earlyKey recruiting rules for Division III: when coaches can meet prospects in person and on campusWhat makes a strong first email to a college coach (and what reads as generic/copy-paste)How college coaches structure Summer Nationals: meetings, rules around competition days, and what they're reallywatching forWhy the new NCAA Women's Fencing Championship is meaningful for women's-only programsFind First to 15 on our YouTube channel, too! --First to 15: The Official Podcast of USA FencingHost: Bryan WendellCover art: Manna CreationsTheme music: Brian Sanyshyn

During the month of December Rick and Svea turn the microphone around and answer your questions on the podcast. Do you have a questions you'd like them to address in future episodes? Email your questions to podcast@autumnridge.church.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:40 Five questions for today's episode: 1) (04:37) God is all-knowing. He knew the fall was going to happen, why didn't he prevent it? 2) (13:21) Creation, the fossil record and the biblical timeline. 3) (23:46) Why doesn't Jesus save everyone, in reference to Matthew 22:14 - many are called but few are chosen. 4) (37:28) Jesus serving Judas at the last supper knowing his betrayal was imminent. 5) (45:29) When do we receive our resurrection body? What happens when we die?04:37 QUESTION 1: God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. God knew his two masterpiece creations in His own image would rebel in self-reliance in the Garden. He knew Eve would be deceived and Adam would fail to lead his wife. God, throughout the Bible intervenes and rescues. Why not intervene and rescue at the beginning and prevent the Fall as the all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful God?07:07 A biblically informed speculation: God knew all the possible outcomes to all the possible scenarios and this is the path he chose.09:23 Getting practical. Why do we choose to have kids knowing they're not going to be perfect and there will be some heartache along the way?13:21 QUESTION 2: How do we reconcile the fossil record and Biblical timeframe?16:17 Our interpretation - Genesis 1 & 2 doesn't give a rigid timeframe. It gives an account of creation. It's not saying how and how long it stating who created and why he created.21:58 Apply Romans 14: If there is disagreement on the understanding of Genesis 1 & 2, be convinced in your own mind and show grace to the other point of view.23:46 QUESTION 3: Can you address Matthew 22:14, where Jesus says many are called but few are chosen? This is one of the most heartbreaking verses of the Bible for me. I desperately want to believe that God has made a way for many to be chosen. I know and believe that salvation comes only through Jesus, and I am hopeful that there are ways people accept Jesus that perhaps we cannot see from the outside, so it is not few that are chosen. Is it possible that I am misunderstanding this verse?25:14 A framework for reading about parables.27:52 Parables are made up stories intended to communicate truth - usually one truth. The truth of this parable is respond to the invitation appropriately.29:55 What's the deal with the man dressed inappropriately for the wedding?33:10 What does it mean many are invited but few are chosen?37:28 QUESTION 4: Can you speak on the significance of when Jesus first instituted communion at the last supper and Judas received? He shared that with Jesus and then led him to the cross and Jesus knew that was going to happen.38:40 Fencing the table.39:54 This was a Passover meal instituted in the Old Testament book of Exodus.45:29 QUESTION 5: When do we receive our new bodies? Is it when Jesus comes again and the rapture happens? Do we go to heaven and come back when Jesus comes back, get our new bodies and return to heaven? Do those in heaven stay there? What does revelation or other parts of the Bible reveal about this?48:41 What happens to someone who dies now?

The 2024 Lonerock Fire burned over 137,000 acres in Gilliam County, much of it rangeland. Ranchers whose lands were destroyed faced a common yet costly hurdle to wildfire recovery: new fencing. According to the Gilliam County Soil and Water Conservation District, to replace about 300 miles of fence that had burned in the fire would have cost over $9 million. With financial support from Gilliam County, two ranchers, Jason and Anthony Campbell, turned to virtual fencing, which they say is a promising wildfire recovery solution. Now, a year after the fire, they join us to talk about their experience with the technology.
In Part 2 of our in-depth look at virtual fencing, Justin continues the conversation with Theo Beaumont of Halter and Dallas Mount with Ranch Management Consultants to focus on how this technology performs in real-world ranching conditions. Theo explains what ranchers can expect when it comes to training cattle and managing different types of terrain, while Dallas adds perspective on carrying capacity, gross margins, and the economics that matter when evaluating whether virtual fencing fits an operation. If you're considering this technology or simply curious how it's being used across the West, this episode offers practical insight from two people working directly with producers. Then we'll be talking with Tim & Rick Marlatt of TK Angus about their upcoming 46th Bull & Female Production Sale on December 15.

Another caller discovered termite droppings in his attic and is wondering how concerned he should be about that. Our last caller has some paint quality questions regarding redoing the exterior of his Arizona home. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're taking a straightforward look at virtual fencing — not as a sales pitch, but as an honest conversation about what the technology actually does, how it works on real ranches, and where it may or may not fit. We are joined by Theo Beaumont from Halter and Dallas Mount with Ranch Management Consultants to explore the practical side of this rapidly evolving tool and what producers should be thinking about as technology continues to reshape our industry. Then we shift gears with Paige Weiler from Ambrook to talk about year-end bookkeeping, reducing redundancy in your process, and making sure your numbers truly work for your operation heading into the new year.

Get Goat Wise | Homestead Livestock, Raising Goats, Chickens, Off-grid living
Hi friends! Today we're talking about goat fence, specifically, a night trap which is one part of a big fence project we're working on. A night trap is a pen that is used to keep goats in at night and when they can't be out grazing during the winter. It's designed to easily contain the goats as well as protect them from outside predators. We've built a few of these over the years, and I'm going to give you the overview of how to do it with very little tools like we did in the beginning to now, using some helpful equipment, but not required. Having a secure place to contain your goats will ease your mind and make raising goats so much easier. All the Best!

This isn't just a technical adjustment; it's a statement. Ultra-long bonds send a clear signal about how the Treasury plans to manage its debt in a changing economic environment.” “Stability” is the key.

It's time to dig into one of my favorite topics: true independence and off-grid living. Curtis Stone is a renowned small-farm educator and author of The Urban Farmer who has built a thriving 40-acre homestead in British Columbia. We trace his journey from punk-rock musician to urban farmer, and how a brutal winter storm in Montreal sparked the realization of just how fragile our modern systems are.Curtis also gets into the realities of homesteading: what it takes to live seasonally on the land, why fencing and livestock dogs are non-negotiable, how to protect against fire, and the importance of building community with your neighbors.
