[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 320333, member: 3999"] They're feedin' thru it, CB. And it's a four wire fence. The bottom wire is hard to see. Like I said, it's been there for many years and as you know the ground right under the fence has a tendency to build up. Top soil is loam but about a foot and a half down it's red clay. The spade on a 6 1/2' "T post will be in the clay. Everywhere I have more than two "T" posts without a cedar post, the "T" posts all yield to the cattle tryin' to get that little piece of something on the other side when their standin' in belly deep coastal. You're right about them testin' the fence - all the time. But heck, I can bend a "T" post and I'm only 6'1" and don't weigh but 240. Put a 1500 pound cow against it and the post will bend like a noodle. I use "T" posts, don't get me wrong. I use all "T" posts (except corners and braces) on cross fences. I use two and one on boundry fences. But I use all cedar against the road. I just can't afford to have one of them get out on the highway. [/QUOTE]
