Chili Ron Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Howdy, Yes I have commented about how this place needs to be more cowboy. But. The very last of the ORIGINAL Barbed Wire factories is being torn down. These are the factories that made the wire that made many cowboys obsolete. I ought to see when it was built.... Im sure there are plenty of factories making cheap imitation barbed wire (guess where). They had their day and made some folks just filthy rich. Time marches on.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 So what are the auto wreckers going to do? Never seen an impound lot that wasn't all strung with barbed wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Dang. What're we all gonna do when those last two strands that are the only thing separating us from the North Pole eventually give way...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I’m sure the Chinese make cheaper barbed wire. Just checked Amazon - plenty available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grass Range Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I’m sure the Chinese make cheaper barbed wire. The Chinese do make barbed wire. Supposedly galvanized but it will rust in a few years unlike the original stuff that would not rust unless it was under the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 We always used Gaucho Barbed Wire. I believe it's made in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Besides that all of the windmills that dotted the Big Empty in Texas have virtually disappeared overnight. They've been replaced by solar powered submersible pumps! Gads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
