[QUOTE="J. T., post: 539109, member: 289"] Barbed wire would be sufficient to hold your cow. As already stated, cows don't require room to play. Breeding and eating is all that's on a cow's mind. Barbed wire goes up fairly quick and easy. Brace it properly and place line posts about 12 feet apart and the fence should give you satisfactory service. Set your brace posts 4 feet deep and tamp the dirt in real firm. If using concrete to set the posts, coat the lower part of the post with roofing tar. Concrete, when in direct contact with treated lumber, will cause the wood to rot. Drive in steel posts as your line posts. Four to five strands of wire will work just fine. Wish I could come lend y'all a hand! Never been to Alaska. [/QUOTE]
