These rolls of barbed wire were found on our North Texas farm inside and around an old barn built in 1917 that was destroyed by a tornado several years ago.  This is what is left of that old barn.  I'm still sifting through the mounds of wire, so keep checking back, I might find something new!


This is just one of the piles of barbed wire.  Some of the rolls are as big as a tractor tire! (That's the old coral in the background.)
