Everything has about been covered below, but I will reiterate the need for good fences. Paige wire at least 6 feet tall (fairy heavy paige wire, too, not the thin stuff)is the bare minium. And nothing within 3 feet of the fence they can climb on to or they will be over the top of the fence.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
