[QUOTE="KAstocker, post: 1729382, member: 40060"] I've considered backgrounding calves in the future and have wondered what fence to use. I think I would put up continuous fence or cable around the perimeter and put woven wire or cattle panels in between pens. Unless you already have deep pockets. I would save the guard rails for pressure areas unless it's more economical than pipe or cable. I built a receiving pen last year to keep cattle in for a week or two when buying them. I just used wire panels with 4 inch wood posts every 8 feet. Corner posts are bigger. I was planning on adding a 2x6 along the top, but figured I could add that in the future. [/QUOTE]
