[QUOTE="aaronstiff, post: 1717854, member: 41402"] Similar to Cowboy Ram, I use 4 strands of high tensile. Bottom and third from bottom electrified (one for calves, other for cows). Electrified high tensile is both a psychological barrier as well as a physical barrier if it has at least 3 strands. I section off the fields with a single strand of polywire. Before they're trained, they could potentially duck under a single strand, but I've never had an adult cow/bull get through 4 strands of high tensile. Calves will certainly duck under a single strand, but I can count how many times they've gone through high tensile on one hand, and that's always been when I'm moving them (so they're under a bit of pressure). So I don't mind too much, but this year I put up a second polywire strand and that seemed to keep them in. Just saying: I love high tensile. Peace of mind. :) [/QUOTE]
