I think Texans lead the country in the biggest and boldest gates.Some have more steel than an oil rig.LOL

Cool! I wonder if fancy gates are collected like barbed wire.
Once when traveling through a very, very dry part of Texas, we stopped at a little museum. They had a contest to guess how much a big ball of barbed wire weighed. For 50 cents, I made my guess. Guess I didn't guess it right. Never heard from them, but then I didn't want a big ball of barbed wire either.

I just googled barbed wire. It looks pretty nasty, too. Do you have a picture of the new non-nasty stuff?

Pat,the new wire is nasty too if you get in it.The old seemed more like razor wire on some types,and lasted a long time.
