[QUOTE="hillrancher, post: 734043, member: 6761"] Cedar post is as good as treated timber if it is cut in December in the dark of the moon. Cut the slick streight for post not the trees with the limbs close to the ground. There is a spotted white cedar that wieghs about 3 time the red cedar it will last a life time, but it will burn if fire gets to it. If you want to save money use the trees but you will be repairing fence from the first year it is up. The sap will rust your wire where it is nailed to the tree. Using small trees the wind will make the tree sway and cause your wire to break also as the trees grow it will tighten up the wire and will break. As suggested a wide RW and not trees is best. Cows will not lay next to the fence for shade or wind break this keeps the bull from the fence to and extent. [/QUOTE]
