[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 362399, member: 2308"] No, but then again, a plank fence won't keep them apart if they want to fight either. Having said that, all of our pastures are 3-4 wire barbed wire fences and we put bulls with cows on either side of them. In our case, if they fight they fight. We end up fixing fences every year. That is our decision, and we usually don't have many problems, but our bulls are wintered together, so they already have the pecking order figured out. Usually we don't have many problems until the second cycle rolls around, and the bulls are less busy. We run them together after that. 2 reasons for that, less fence to fix, and if one of the bulls happened to not have done his job we don't end up with 30 dry cows. Depending on the neighbour, and what he is like to deal with, you may consider keeping your cows out of that field when the bull is with them, or you could run a strand of electric along the fence as well. The electric may or may not work, depends on the bulls. But it is much more likely to stop them than a barbed wire. [/QUOTE]
