Thank you very much for the advice. I am now a lot clearer on what I can and should not do and itll make it easier when I go to the Ag store to start pricing everything.
My Pop was a sheep farmer all his life. In fact in his area his farm was massive (for Tassie sizes!), he even has a road named after him. As kids of course we spent quite a lot of time on the farm but it was just tractor rides, playing in the wool sheds and that type of thing. Never involved in any of the work.
I moved interstate at a young age so I never really got to spend a lot of time with him for a couple of decades.
When I moved back to Tassie my visits to pops was the typical xmas, birthday type things. He had two sons who helped keep his property in shape, so again I never really got involved in the farming side of it. I very much regret this. Pop sadly passed away a few years ago and I now find myself asking my dear old Mother things about the farm. Simple things like turning scrub into grass, building fences, different questions about sheep etc. All the things a grandson should have been involved in when he was a kid.
My place is just small acreage on a hillside so it is far from what Pop had but I need to fence a couple of boundaries if I want to use a couple of sheep to keep the grass down.
I was going to get the local fencing people to do it for me and at $8 a metre its not too bad but I figured I have plenty of time so I may as well have a crack myself.
I attached a pic to show where the fences need to go. What the pic doesn't show is the significant slope.
The green line is where I want to do the first fence.
The blue line has existing fences.
The pink line will also need a fence at some stage but for the time being I will attempt to put up something movable that goes diagonally from the green line across to the blue line which will follow a large cut to fill platform where the house etc is now built. (this photo is a few years old, the platform where the camper sits ended up being twice that size)
