Thanks. Herd in a bag. I like that.
Basically it's a vegetable protein bar for cows. They love em, which can be pretty scary when they hear or see you, toting that bag, and come a running. I try and sneak the bag out to the trough when they are on the other side of the pasture. Cows may be dumber than a box of rocks, but when they associate engine noise or the sight of a person with a tasty treat, you better watch out.
I was a city boy till about 15 years ago. To this day I still miss home pizza delivery.

I would personally rather stay out here in the country and talk to my chickens and pigs than try to negotiate the horse shit it would take to get some young person to bring me something to eat. They do not even know how to park on the grass...they turn the flashers on, block the road and walk around looking for which house ordered the food.
back to the house,about a mile and 1/2, I hit a bump in the dirt road and lost 1 egg. 
I've always wanted a practical excuse to use a minibike, like transporting things, but I just don't live in a place where that's necessary really.
Where are the T posts going? What will you use em for?
Also, nice bike, man! I love the feel of a "hard tail" mini. Something about having no rear suspension just makes it control differently, but the fact that you have seat suspension instead, along with the leading link front suspension makes me really want to ride that thing... almost reminds me of like a coleman B200r, but it has much more of a rugged, utilitarian look to it. I like it
...maybe I should get a fat tire bike lol.

Thanks for the compliment. Rugged and Utilitarian are the key words. I wanted to ease the wear and tear on my truck , something I could tool around the property and go places where my truck could not go, tote tools and small materials as needed and not have to cough up the money for an atv or utv, not even used ones.
Almost bought a coleman. I exercised a little self control and thought about it for a while. Decided I would have to modify it to suit my needs and wanted something with a couple more inches of ground clearance and a longer wheel base. It also peaked my interest to see if I could build it.
My area is rural, mostly 10 acre lots using, mostly, barbed wire fencing on the property lines. T posts are the cheapest support for the barbwire, and I use the term cheapest loosely. They are also, probably, the easiest to install and maintain and they last a long time. Usually.
Unless you have cows, that don't want to be where they are at. The person that coined the term "the grass is greener on the other side" probably had cows. Anyway, when the grass gets short cows have a tendency to poke their heads through the barbwire strands and so occasionally I have to bolster the fence line with extra posts or replace them when bent or broke along with splicing the wire.
