[QUOTE="Linda, post: 296975, member: 50"] With electric wire, I like to run one wire just about nose high on a cow, then another along the tops of the posts. If they are steel posts, you can buy insulated caps that tap onto the top of the post with a hammer. You run the wire through the insulated caps. Remember, though, that some bulls will crawl UNDER a fence. We've had that happen a couple of times. We had to run a third wire about 10 inches from the ground. Fortunately, we didn't have to do that for the entire fenceline. Give your cow 45 days away from the bull to allow her insides to get back to normal. She needs time to heal before she's bred again. She may cycle before that, but give her the 45 days. The bull will be interested in her right now, because she's passing blood from the birth, but she doesn't need to have to fend him off while she's healing and nursing a new calf. [/QUOTE]
