[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7634"] One of these days I'll learn to keep my mouth shut about my opinions on fencing...lol. I grew up on a farm that had "good" fences but almost every month there was a repair job. Cattle people successfully keep livestock in with anything between single strand hot wires and "buffalo" fencing. A personal choice thing. Likewise, horse people keep horses in with everything between used materials picked up at a garage sale or city dump and the high dollar decorator equine fencing. The primary objective is to keep YOUR livestock on your place; secondary objective is to have fencing that fits YOUR lifestyle and ranch "image." At Running Arrow Farm we have very gentle and manageable horses and cattle. They stay on our place. We sleep well every night. Some of our neighbors think we overdo our fencing and are nuts. Bottomline: ours stay on our place and other livestock stay out of our place. Our insurance company likes our fencing plan too. Since we raise pureblood breeding stock, we don't want outside animals getting to ours; and, we don't want to deal with any neighbor that is ANTI-Longhorns that might "contaminate" their commercial beef herds (unless they WANT a Longhorn for cross-breeding).
