So, okay.

So, um, so, you know, pronghorn iconic species in the West that, uh, uh, you know, second, second fastest animal on earth behind the cheetah.

They live, you know, their defense mechanism is their speed.

So they like to hang out in flat, open country and see what's coming and they'll outrun it.

And for whatever reason, they can jump fences, but like a lot of them don't know that.

Very rare.

And so they crawl under fences and there's a lot of work being done to remove the bottom wire on ranches because in big winters, they'll find

Dozens of pronghorn dead pronghorn piled up in the corner of a, of a ranch or public ground, whatever, because the snow drifted there and they can't crawl under the fence and they don't know then go over.

Um, so our fence, so high tinsel, it's just a smooth wire.

Um, and it's got a, a, a flex to it.

So, uh, deer, elk, and moose can jump over pronghorn can crawl under.

I see mule deer do both.

Like they sometimes crawl under and sometimes jump over.

Exactly.

Yep.

And, um, and then when I say the middle wire is hot,

So it's, it means it's, it's electrified.

So we, our whole fence runs off solar and that middle wire is hot and it, and, and when a, if a bison touches it, they get shocked and they're super smart.

So they learn to avoid it.

And then that behavior is passed on down through the herd.
