Monavale Homestead - 1910 - 2010

Working on the Property

Craig Good - Friday, September 03, 2010
Channing surrounded all the properties with 7 or 9 high wire fences some with barbed wire. The wooden fence posts were 15 feet apart, and the low wires were put close together so that young lambs could not get through.

Each farm area was divided into ‘paddocks’, which are small fields or pastures. The paddocks were 10, 15, 20, 40 or even 100 acres each. They had a big crew working on all this. They also had to sow much of the land in the particular grasses that they wanted.
