[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1638130, member: 38220"] JMJ -- on the 3-wire fences, I put the bottom wire about knee height (20-22") so they don't catch tumble weeds. Then 10" apart. Fence is only 42-44 inches tall and no cows or bulls mess with it, but they are all in the same pasture. I use 7/8" fiberglass posts spaced 50-60 feet apart and use the cotter pin type attachments that allow the wire to freely slide. Kencove carries everything I use. Sometimes I can get the posts locally. Deer and antelope can go through, under or over no problem. Antelope can hit them at a run and they have plenty of spring using the spring tensioners. These are only for interior pasture division fences. Generally run a Parmak solar on these. The 4-wire I have, we replaced the wire on existing wood posts that were a rod apart using claw insulators for the hot wires and stapling the ground wires to the posts. This is a boundary fence that will get a 10 joule AC charger on it and is a mile and a half long with the plan to tie it in to the 3-wire fences at some point. [/QUOTE]
