Osage is so resistant to decay each post would outlast 6 or 8 holes, so we were always digging more post holes than cutting new posts. As long as we were at it, we would dig a couple extra post holes along each line of fence. At the end of the week we'd haul these extra holes home and stack them up like cord-wood out behind the barn. It was no trouble because they weighed next to nothing. After a few years there would be enough that we wouldn't have to dig any holes for a whole season. This worked well until one year we had about a hundred of them stacked up there. We went to pull out a few, the stack let go and they all rolled down across the pasture. We've been tripping over those post holes ever since. Wait a minute.  Just a gol darned minute.   Nebraska is flat.  So there was no "down" for the post holes to roll.    Gotcha.   Ralph
