[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 164496, member: 2905"] My preferrence for line post for the situation you describe is the 3/8" fiberglass rods with the spring clips to hold the wire. Unless you are planning on moving this fence later, I would suggest 14 ga steel wire for both wires. The 14 ga will be stronger and more visible than 17 ga. More durable than polytape. Two wires are usually adequate interior fence for cow/calves. If this is interior fencing, I would use the easier to handle soft farmstore wire instead of high tensile. For corners, I would suggest 6 ft steel t post driven at least 2 ft in the ground. for additional support you can make an angle brace using another t post driven at a 45 degree angle. To connect the verticle post and the angled post use a 1ft piece of 3/4 conduit bent in the middle to a 45 degree angle. Use 4 hose clamps (2 per post) to attach the conduit to the 2 posts. I've actually seen the 2 posts just wired together. Not as strong or neat as conduit/clamps. I've heard that 1" or larger fiberglass makes good corners for this type of fence.
