[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 26313, member: 94"] Same here! I just finished up the perimeter of a 64' x 64' pen made from 2 3/8" pipe and 5 'x 20' cattle panel. It is approx. 68" tall. We put a steer in the pen that we plan to feed out and, being a little wild at first, he immediately gave the pen a test. He tried going through it, climbing over it, and going under it, but so far he's still penned, and alot calmer! Guess he realized he ain't getting out, so he might as well lay around and just eat. In my opinion, when building cattle pens, build it as tall and as sturdy as you can afford. It will definately save time when working cattle and I also believe it cuts down on injuries. Seems like cows were always jumping the fence and getting legs twisted/cut in all the old pens I've used. [/QUOTE]
