Fenceless Cows Tethered To Big Tire
John Stoltzfus of Spring Mills, Penn., doesn’t need a fence to corral his two Holstein milk cows. They’re simply tethered to a big tractor tire.
  “They can drag it around a little, but not far enough to get away,” he says.
  Stoltzfus runs 15-ft. long ropes from the tire to leather collars on the cattle. He has a good pasture behind the barn, and when an area of grass gets short he unties the animals, rolls the tire to a new spot and ties up the animals to graze again.
  “I’ve been doing it for two months and it’s worked out good so far. I have water for them just in reach so they can’t tip it over,” Stoltzfus says.
