Does anyone put up electric fence on the inside of woven wire fence to keep cattle rubbing on the woven wire? IF so how many strands and at what height? Or is it not necessary?

I am having trouble getting bekaert 949-12-12.5 high tensil fencing. Trouble is a understatement. 3 farm stores all suppose to carry bekaert and they even say they can order fencing. But nobody in all 3 stores can find or do what the company says. So frustrated!! Have taled with bekaert...

Ive got another question for this group but will start another thread, any how, I can tell you Ive learned a few things too or maybe observed a few. First is it is one hell of alot harder to pull post out of my ground when it is wet even when wiggling aggressively the post. I did 3 in a row...

So I messed with another post today, I got it out with some new methods. Yes I move the post in diff directions this time with the loader. This time I got a bit more aggressive with it. Didnt stop with first crack of the post but stopped on the 3rd. The reason I am pulling the post is...

LOL, I am not sure I want to film but will give it a go. I dont own a excavator but do own a mid size skidsteer. No concrete or boards attached to the posts. But its spring time in ohio so the ground is wet and am betting that is creating a suction on the posts. I thought about driving a rod...

We tried a 12000lb excavator but broke the post. to much wiggling I think. I was not the operator. To clarify the fork attachment frame got bent up. something else to fix. tractor 3pt wont do it I stopped before that got damaged. As far as cutting off, for me not an option. But Ill go...

This is what I have. 6 - 7 inch posts driven in clay soil 4.5 feet deep. they need to be removed. what is the easiest way to do it. I have removed 1 post so far by using a 3 ton floor jack and chains and cribbing directly over top of post. have to cut post every 12 inches. I think the problem...

Thanks for all the input. I am planning on field fence, I just picked up some wood posts today which I plan on renting a post driver to set them. Ive got a couple more questions and would like your opinions on. 1. My farthest pull is 725ft. will a single H brace be ok or do I need to ad a...

What is better or safer along a state highway? I am putting new fence up next to a state highway. looking at field fence such as tornado 13/28/12 or kencoves version of high tensil 12.5 woven wire. Or a 6 strand single wire electrified high tensile fence. both fences with 25 ft post spacing...

I think I am going to do a limited try,

I am considering planting a hay field with the stockman from Millborn seed. Its a blend of alfalfa, tall fescue and orchard grass. My concern is and to be honest not sure it should be a concern, is planting out of a grain drill. This is a blend from my understanding 60% alf and 20% and 20%...

so I have been letting the cows graze my alfalfa/orchard grass hay field for a few hours a day then take them off where they have accsses to dry hay. we did get a frost , do I need to worry about that or do I need to keep them off the hay field. I ask cause I have heard not to graze for a few...

Is there any dangers in grazing an alalfa/grass hay field? With preg cows and calves? this fall

I thought it might be Johnson grass too. But after Dun said barnyardgrass, I think he may be right. We have been extremely wet and where this grass really took off has been really wet spots. So if its barnyard grass in the pasture whats my course of action? herbicide? mow? not sure what...

Here are a couple more images of the grass
