[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1387367, member: 25884"] There are other parts to our fencing laws, that the landowner is responsible for their half on the right as yours is...UNLESS that landowner designates his land as open space and no animals and it has to be done within a certain period of when the first landowner sends written notice of intent to build the fence. Then the cost is on the one that wants the fence. But then the adjoining landowner CANNOT put animals on the other side or he is responsible for the fence retroactively....and there is a provision for agreements between landowners also. To me a 42" fence isn't high enough and I don't know anyone who builds one that short for cattle anyway. Are the people you are going to build the HT fence for going to put electric on it? If not, then the sheep won't stay in. I have a dairy farmer that I test cows for and his brother has HT for the beef cattle and there are always calves out in the road, or into the hayfield next to them or something. If it is not HOT then the cows can just put their heads through it and keep leaning and eventually will walk through it since it "gives" and once they learn to do that good luck. Is this 1348-12 woven a high tensile woven with 12 in stays? There is some on the one property we rent and the cows have gotten their heads through it trying to get to hay bales next to it and now have big holes opened up in it. It was there when we got the place and I am not at all impressed. We are going to have to refence that section when the hay all gets moved. You also mentioned an 18 and I am wondering if that is 18" stays or the gauge of the wire. I am old school and don't know all the terminology for all the newer types. But you get to 12" stays and then you get problems with the foxes and coyotes getting through also. We go through spells with the coyote problems but when they are around they play havoc with the animals. It is open season on them here all year. [/QUOTE]
