Description

On farms or ranches with livestock, fences are an important part of life. However, fences eventually get old and worn out due to damage by animals of all kinds. Cattle will crash through them, rub up against them and wildlife will jump over, crawl under and go through the stretched wires.

Cowboys spend countless hours riding fence and keeping their eyes on the cattle. When they see a broken wire, they stop to repair it. This involves some of life’s most important tools. Claw hammers for stretching the wire, extra pieces of wire to splice and re-stretch broken wires and of course replacement staples for the posts. Usually, the rural folks are up at the crack of dawn and keep at it until dark. It’s a life not for people who are used to a 9 to 5 job and who are looking not to work hard.

Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark
