Why Chase Cows When You Can Build a Fence?

I know we talked about this yesterday, but I got a deeper dive into what actually happened with the cows, and I thought it was so funny that I wanted to share it with you. (Well, I sort of doubt that Daniel would tell me that it was funny—but he does have a great sense of humor, and he was laughing as he told me the story.)

The Great Cow Escape

Picture this: Freshly fallen snow, a peaceful farm morning, and then…

“Daddy, the cows aren’t in the pasture.” “They’re probably in the shed,” he says confidently.

But the six-year-old insists, “No, I looked. They’re not there.”

An hour later, he discovers she was right—the cows were gone. With the snow as his guide, he tracks their trail: down to the pond, into the woods, three miles into the unknown.

Meanwhile, a call comes in from a neighbor a mile and a half away: “Your cows are at our bird feeders!”

Thankfully, this retired dairy farmer lured them with birdseed. But here’s the kicker: these cows weren’t halter-trained. How do you lead cows a mile and a half home without a halter?

With a tin bowl of grain and sheer determination, Daniel managed to guide them back. But not without a few detours, a dirt road escape, and a helpful truck to stop their runaway adventure.

A Sturdy Fence: Every Cow Owner’s Best Friend

Here’s the thing—chasing cows for three hours in the snow isn’t exactly anyone’s idea of a good time. That’s why a sturdy, permanent fence is every cow owner’s best friend.

At Louis E. Page, we specialize in durable fencing solutions designed to keep your livestock safe, secure, and right where they should be—so you don’t have to track them down miles away at a bird feeder.

MooHoo! What Savvy Farmers Know About Raw Milk Demand That You Don’t

We’re always inspired by stories from our customers, and I thought you might enjoy hearing about a farmer friend of ours who has seen his dairy business transformed by an unexpected surge in demand.

A Dairy Business Transformed

For over 50 years, he’s been quietly raising dairy cows, providing for his local community. But recently, he’s found himself selling up to 50 gallons of raw milk a day! The demand has grown as more families become conscientious about what goes into their food. It turns out many people who are lactose intolerant can actually tolerate raw milk. This discovery has opened up his business to a whole new audience.

His farm is mooing with activity like never before.

The Importance of Quality Fencing

With this growth, he’s realized the importance of quality fencing to support his operation—from keeping his livestock secure to protecting his expanding facilities. He’s making sure his dairy cows stay safe, his property is protected, and his growing farm can continue to thrive.

Strong Fences, Strong Heroes: Celebrating Our Veterans

Yesterday, on Veterans Day, I was filled with gratitude and admiration for the brave men and women who’ve dedicated their lives to protect our freedom. My dad served as a Captain in the US Army during WWII and the Korean Conflict. I am super grateful for his dedication to protecting our freedom.

Fences That Protect and Honor

At Louis E. Page, Inc., we know that just as our fences serve to protect homes, parks, and communities, they also play a vital role in securing our Armed Forces bases and operations. Every fence tells a story of strength and resilience, echoing the bravery of those who stand ready to defend our nation.

Fencing may seem simple, but its role in our nation’s defense is anything but. From safeguarding critical military installations to supporting operations during wartime, fences are a silent guardian—a line that protects, shields, and enables those who serve to focus on the task at hand.

For us, it’s an honor to support our servicemen and women in this way, providing the strength and reliability that fences offer—much like the strength and dedication embodied by our veterans.

Our Gift to You

To our veterans: thank you for your courage, for standing tall when it mattered most, and for being the protectors of our way of life. You inspire us to keep building fences that do more than just stand—they defend, they protect, and they honor the spirit of resilience.

If you're a veteran, here's our gift to you: When you place your order during the week of Veterans Day, we'll give you 10% off your order (shipping excluded).

Contact Terry at 978-486-3116. She’s our fence expert and is waiting to serve you! Mention "Veteran 10" to receive your discount.

All my best regards,

Debbie Page

CEO, Louis E. Page Inc – Woman-owned business and Family-owned since 1893. (So 131 years ago my late husband’s grandfather, our family ancestor Louis E., founded the company.)

P.S. Thank you for your service. Let us help you build something strong and lasting.

Building Greatness – One Wire at a Time

When I think of greatness, I think of simple things done with care and purpose—things built to stand the test of time. And in our line of work, greatness often looks a lot like a sturdy, well-made fence.

A Fence Like a Castle Wall

That reminds me of a story about my son and a fence he put up around his property a few years back. He’d spent the weekend hammering, leveling, and measuring, making sure everything was just right. When he finally stepped back to admire his work, my granddaughter—his little girl—came outside to join him. She looked up at him, then at the fence with that kind of wonder only kids have, and said, “Dada, it’s like a castle wall!”

In her eyes, that fence wasn’t just a boundary or a line to keep animals in. To her, it was something special, even a little magical. And I think she captured it perfectly: when we build something with care, it becomes more than just a fence. It’s a mark of pride and a symbol of strength.

Fences That Add Value

At Louis E. Page, we strive to bring that same spirit to every fence we help our customers create. We know that a good fence doesn’t just do its job; it adds value to your space, making it feel a little more secure, a little more complete—maybe even a little bit like a castle.

So, whether it’s keeping the garden safe, providing a secure space for animals, or just adding a little charm to your property, we’re here to help you build something that lasts.

Let’s Build Something Great Together

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey to build something great. If you want to talk to greatness, call Terry, our fence expert, at 978-486-3116 (Tap to Call).

Wishing you a day full of joy and “found greatness,”

Victory Gardens, and a Little Slice of American Spirit!

Victory is in the air, and it got me thinking about the original “Victory” movement—the Victory Gardens! Remember those? These gardens were pure American spirit in soil and sunshine, started during both World Wars to boost our food supply and unite communities. By 1944, they were growing 40% of all our veggies! Can you imagine? A whole country, hands in the dirt, planting a hopeful future!

The Power of a Well-Fenced Garden

And guess what? Fencing was key to those gardens back then, just as it is now. Keeping out those nibbling critters and ensuring those hard-earned veggies grew strong and steady? That’s the power of a well-fenced garden! My Mama Clements already had a garden, but she added the American flag and claimed Victory!

Today, whether it’s a backyard patch or a full homestead, our gardens are where we root ourselves and build resilience. And you all, with your fencing expertise, are still part of that legacy—helping people create their own modern-day “Victory Gardens” with security and pride.
