[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1593220, member: 25884"] Thank you callmefence. I certainly wasn't trying for any reactions other than what we prefer here. You and others are way ahead of me in experience with fencing. When I was a kid and young adult in Ct., we mostly used barbed wire. I could put up fence myself. Often attached to trees. Learned about more dos and don'ts. But I am no expert by any means. Just wanted to let people know what we like, and don't like. A good woven wire fence will contain most anything that doesn't have a reason to get out. And if they want out, unless being harassed by predators, if they go over it, they need to be gone. One thing we do is run a strand or sometimes 2 of electric on the inside of the woven wire on the bull lot because they insist on going along and rubbing against it. It will stretch it, and eventually it will sag a bit, but usually have broken or dislodged a few fence posts from pushing on them. Just keeps them off it when they are penned during the off season.
