Growing up on the prairies of eastern Montana, fencing always has had a different connotation than a sport. Standing out in the heat of the summer ("105 in the shade" the radio says, but there are no trees as far as you can see) mending a hole that the cattle made, and you have to wear thick, leather gloves otherwise the barbed wire would cut through your fingers. That's the "fencing" I think of. :nod: :thumb:
