Had a old cattlmen tell me , today, that cross fencing wasnt a good practice. His reasons were that when you concentrate animals into a smaller area you cause and or spread illness.
The farm in question is about 400 acres . The cross fencing would break it up into about 4 100 acre paddocks.
He also said that even if you left the gate open on a cross fence you stressed the calf/cow because they often found themselves on opposite sides of the fence.
Like to hear yalls thoughts.
