[QUOTE="RD-Sam, post: 610855, member: 7927"] I have some fencing questions, have several areas I am going to do differently too. I have about 2 to 3 acres I'm going to fence in for a barn and corral, on the outside I was going to put up 60" Non-Climb fence to keep dogs and coyotes away from the cattle, on the inside I was going to put up 2 X 6 pressure treated boards to keep the cattle off the fence. Using 6 X 6 pressure treated posts and was going to leave them 4 to 6" higher than the fence and string a row of barbed wire inside and out side for good measure! 8 foot spacing. The rest of the property I was thinking of going to a 4 X 4 or 4 X 6 pressure treated post, with 60" Non-Climb fence on the outside, with a hot wire to keep the cattle off the fence. Same at the top, a row of barbed wire inside and out. On the posts, would you put them level or perdendicular to the terrain where there are elevation changes? I can't be there all the time, and that is the reason for the fence the way I wanted to do it, don't want any dogs or coyotes getting after any calves. I also didn't want the cows getting on the fence and tearing it up. Any opinions? :dunce: [/QUOTE]
