[QUOTE="denoginnizer, post: 156180, member: 1096"] 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. [/QUOTE]
