[Jacob-list] Stanchion

[Gary Tomas Fay]

Joy,

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for ... Sheepman's had the
goat
Stanchion, with or without stand, Tractor Supply and Jeffers had
nothing.

You were not the first person to say they used Fiskers. Every time I
hear
that I remember a pair of pinking shears my mom had ...Wouldn't that
leave an interesting pattern ...
