[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1283618, member: 16453"] Fenceman was saying in the other thread where the wire was overtightened how he escaped injury working on it. I used to use it on horses and had a couple run straight through it with the wider spacing of posts and not sighting it and it sprung apart so quick that the horses just got very minor scratches from it. I used to use 4 strands of high tensile barb for horses with the bottom strand pretty high so they did not get into too much trouble pawing at it. I think most people have the bottom strand too low for cattle as well, mostly wasted when too low. Plain wire will cut through horses like through butter and it is usually loose from them leaning through it. I'm a bit off subject talking about horses but I think the same principles apply to cattle, it stays nice and tight and they respect it. Ken [/QUOTE]
