[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 613283, member: 7509"] I am basically in the same situation - limited time and cows that have figured out what's coming. My fencer is a LONG ways from this moving fence so turning it off is not an answer as well as them pushing thru a cold wire to get to new grass. Moving the front fence will really go much faster with fewer headaches if oyu have two reel setups as I described above. Put the second/new one up first then reel up the old one as the cows come around the end. I may be wrong in your situation but I tried moving one wire ahead of me and that did not work well and took about twice as long as just putting up a separate one behind then reeling up the first. I then just toss the one reel and step in posts and non conductive handle on the grass over the new fence and its there for the next move. While poly wire is stretchy I don't think the lengths will be consistent enough to use a fixed length wire. i also only use a hot wire feed down the one side, the reel hooks to the old but tight 5 wire barb. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
