[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1796863, member: 9096"] I can't speak to the rest of it, but using hot wires is totally reasonable, I can fence a mile for a couple hundred bucks. and I can take the fence out in an hour. I do think that moving daily is way too labor intensive, I have other things to do, but no doubt that it's effective, I aim for about a week-10 days in a paddock. If the ground has the moisture, I can pretty much say that the grass essentially doesn't grow while the cows are on it for long periods of time, they're eating the fresh bits which is bad for future growth. In too big a paddock they'll graze their favourite spots to the ground and anything that's a little less tasty gets wasted. I have my main fields fenced out with real fences, but do subdivide them with polywire.. I have a spool on a cordless drill and wrap up 1/8th mile in a couple minutes.. posts 50 ft apart, just drive along with the quad and pull them or step them in, my fencer is on a post that's on an old brake drum, usually that grounds well enough i don't need to get fancy with ground rods.
