[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 444751, member: 1744"] Fences are the most single important part of your facilities. Lost a cow this summer by not ckecking and repairing old fences on one of our leases. We run five wire with the calves and perimeter and four for cross fencing and with the older cattle...both have a hot wire with a 11 joule charger. l like to see a blue spark from 1/4 mile and the animals soon learn real respect for the fence. Two hot wires for the calf pastures, one 18'' and another 30''. We even have some cross fenced with only two hot wires and haven't had it disturbed in four years. Do need to replace some insulators every so often but then that is just part of fence work. Just my two bits worth...asked for or not.....Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
