[QUOTE="simme, post: 1738771, member: 40418"] Barb wire on top of woven does a few things. Makes the fence taller. Discourages animals from reaching over the fence and pushing down on the woven - helping to prevent damage to the woven. Some people put a short (36") woven fence up and then finish with barbed wire up to whatever height they want. Woven at bottom helps to contain smaller animals or critters and barbed at the top a little more aggressive for larger animals. An electric wire at the top of woven can also help to discourage fence rubbing or jumping. An electric wire mid height of the woven mounted on standoffs will help prevent any contact with the woven. Goats particularly will put their front feet on the woven and climb up a few strands and may cause the fixed knot to slip on the vertical stay over time. I guess the best fence is the one that works for you at the lowest cost depending on your cattle, pastures, location, and temptations. [/QUOTE]
