[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 696134, member: 13268"] Barb Wire & High Tensile Fencing Hello, I am new to this forum but I am not new to farming. I grew up on a Beef Cattle farm in a small place called Floyd,Va. I recently moved out of the "suburbs" and back into the country. I bought 5 acres and its a un-fenced field. I want to purchase a couple calves so that my kids can basically have the same kinds of animals around that i grew up with. I am goinjg to fence in about 4 acres and on the outer boundaries have a 4 strand barb wire fence and in front have high tensile wire so that kids wont get cut up petting or feeding the calves. I basically had questions on which strand am I supposed to put up first on each of those types of fencing. When I was on the farm the fences there probably had been there for 20+ years so I never got the chance of putting up a new fence. Can anyone tell me which strand it is best to stick up first for both types of fences. I also may leave out the high tensile for woven wire not sure yet. I am open to suggestions. I apologize for what probably is a stupid question. But my grandfather isnt around any longer to ask these questions to. [/QUOTE]
