Busy day with @ZacharySisson3, Faith, and Trey (he came over last night) building out the grazing block. We didn’t make it to the H-Braces yet, but we’re dropping one every 100–200’. We’re matching them to the T-posts by running drill stem horizontally at the same 8’ spacing. Drill stem is the thick-walled oilfield pipe that’s borderline indestructible, making it ideal for ranch infrastructure. We’re using 2⅜” pipe with about 6.5’ above ground to match the T-posts and 4’ in the ground, augering each hole before setting. Each end gets a fish-mouth cut for full surface contact, then stick-welded off the Cybertruck running the welder. We may concrete the corner H-Frames depending on the rock layer and the pressure from cattle, but most line H-Braces will be earth-set (well—rock-set after the hydraulic breaker and auger) since drill stem locks in tight once tamped. The gate H-Frame is the toughest part since it supports a 16’ gate for the cattle chute we’re building. That chute is where we’ll load and unload livestock—cattle, sheep, then follow with Black Soldier Fly Larvae (my build guide is at LTG.FYI/LOTF) and our hundreds of chickens (we’re running at less than half-capacity with 200 chickens and certainly ready to ramp up further!) All of this ties into the rotational grazing system we’re laying out: cattle → sheep → larvae → chickens. The entire block will eventually integrate with the communications system that we’ve been designing and building, so we can monitor everything from the command center in my library (as well as heads-up displays that we’ll wear in the field). Big week ahead. More coming once we clear more brush, then resume, and start welding the braces and gate frame together in parallel to the multiple 40’ communications towers that @RussellMayEta, @Peterfrom707, and I have been working on.
