Homestead Happenings For July 31, 2026 - EP 1153

Today I am joined by the Tactical Redneck for our weekly update from Holler Homestead. We catch up on what's been happening around the farm, share an upcoming class at Basecamp Lodge, answer listener questions, and spend most of the episode talking about fencing. We cover the pressure-tested fencing supplies we've come to trust, the lessons we've learned after building miles of fence in rocky Tennessee soil, and the skills that actually make someone an asset when it's time to build infrastructure on the homestead. Featured Event Homemade Condiments Class Friday, August 22 • Holler Homestead Learn to make your own mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, salad dressings, and more. You'll taste a variety of recipes and head home with a homemade dressing you make in class. $75 https://livingfreeintennessee.com/event/condiments/  Sponsors Strong Roots Resources https://StrongRootsResources.com The Wealthsteading Podcast https://InvestableWealth.com Topics Covered Updates from Holler Homestead Nashville duplex project and staging it for sale Announcing the Homemade Condiments Class at Basecamp Lodge: https://livingfreeintennessee.com/event/condiments/  Combining FAMACHA scoring with routine flock maintenance Why rotational grazing becomes more challenging with four flocks A deep dive into electric fencing on rocky and hilly Tennessee ground Lessons learned from building and rebuilding fence The pressure-tested fencing products and brands we've come to trust Where it's worth spending money on fencing supplies The tools that make fencing faster and more reliable The skills that make someone genuinely valuable on a fencing crew Why careful planning saves far more time than hard work alone Building better homestead systems instead of repeating the same mistakes Reference Links Strong Roots Resources https://StrongRootsResources.com The Wealthsteading Podcast https://InvestableWealth.com Holler Roast Coffee https://HollerRoast.com THE FENCING SUPPLIES LIST FROM TACTICAL Recommend Companies   American Grazing Lands https://www.americangrazinglands.com   Farm Fence Solutions https://www.shopfarmfencesolutions.com   Power Flex Fence https://powerflexfence.com   Premier 1 https://www.premier1supplies.com       Geared Reels O'Briens https://powerflexfence.com/collections/reels/products/ogr-obrien-gear-reel   Speedrite https://www.premier1supplies.com/p/speedrite-geared-reel?cat_id=49   Strainrite https://www.shopfarmfencesolutions.com/31-geared-wheel-27897645.html   Taragate https://www.americangrazinglands.com/collections/portable-fencing-supplies/products/taragate-geared-reel   Gallagher https://powerflexfence.com/collections/reels/products/gallagher-reel-standard-1320       Wire and Jumper Wire Poly Wire Powerflex Fence - 1/2 Mile - 2640ft Super 9 PolyBraid https://www.americangrazinglands.com/collections/portable-fencing-supplies/products/polybraid-mixed-metals-6-stainless-3-tin-copper-strands-2640   Jumper Wire https://www.americangrazinglands.com/collections/portable-fencing-supplies/products/jumper-lead       Step In Post Strainrite - Multi Wire Tread In Post https://www.shopfarmfencesolutions.com/multi-wire-tread-in-post-pk-10.html   Steel Post, Multiwire Tread In https://www.shopfarmfencesolutions.com/steel-po
