[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 52725, member: 9"] Also depends on the nature of one's terrain, proximity to other rancher's livestock, roads, highways, tree cover, and other issues. As well as one's stocking rate (aka enough grass to keep cattle home), etc. As with any livestock property, if owners, managers, etc., are there 24/7 and can promptly check all fences, gates after high winds or storms, etc., then that reduces chances for fence to be down and cattle get out. For absentee owners, operators, or weekend ranchers, excellent fences & gates and hopefully no tree branches to break and fall on fences would be a must (for peace of mind). Good fences which are appropriate for the type of animals one is keeping backed up with good insurance on livestock are the basics in my opinion (along with proper livestock feeding and care, obviously).
