[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 235353, member: 9"] Ok, y'all! :) The 4x4" mesh panels are fine when seriously secured to a "fence frame"; however, there's nothing like a tight barb wire fence to hold back critters. We raise full-sized registered Longhorn seedstock. In our fence disign/installation wanted as much "insurance" as we could reasonably get to keep our LH on "our" property and be good neighbors in a "commercial cattle area" in the Texas Panhandle. (Some ranchers are still "scared" of Longhorns)...lol. Due to our ages, we haven't done our own fencing. Our fencing was done by a fast, reasonable, and crack livestock fencing crew that could put up 7 or 8 strands with T-posts at rate of about 100' - 150' an hour (8' T-posts driven 2.5' feet deep in our deep sand here) after welded pipe corner braces were constructed and set in concrete. This was a long-term capital investment (excluding periodic fence repairs), that will out-live both of us. Our cost has probably averaged around $2.50 a foot for L + M for our perimeter and cross fencing (plus numerous gates). Of course, our several welded pipe & rod specialized pens and corral costs considerably more. [/QUOTE]
