[QUOTE="jgn, post: 60115, member: 128"] I'm getting ready to run a strand of electric fence around all the boundary fence that connects with neighboring property. I own the cows on halves with my father-inlaw and he owns the land. Since none of the fence is any good including the parts the neighbor is responsible for(partnership fences) and our bull likes to visit his cows since we don't have enough to keep him busy full time this is the only feasible solution at this time. Both my father-inlaw and neighbor are older and I'm sure not willing to install new fencing around the entire property. I have been leaning toward running a strand of 15 1/2 ga. barbed wire but would like to know if smooth hi-tensile would be just as good. I would need 6 rolls of barbed wire at 29.50 a 1320' roll or 2 rolls of hi-tensile for 75.00 each a 4000' roll and still have about 1500' of the hi-tensile left to run interior fencing with. I like the idea of the smooth but wonder if it would do as good as the barbed. Sorry so long. [/QUOTE]
