[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1227458, member: 18945"] Even older barbed wire should hold up shiny if it has enough zinc galvanize in it, but there was a lot of really cheap imported wire some years ago, trying to compete with the red brand 12 1/2 ga that would turn to rust in in a couple years. It looked good and stretched good, but rusted quickly and often nearly thru. But, Surface rust on wire doesn't neccessarily mean anything tho--I have some rusty stuff that's been up 40 years that's still hard to cut with good fence pliers. The cheap Bekaert Gaucho 15.5 ga will stay shiny for 10 years or more here in east Texas, but I know it is made in Ky, USA. [/QUOTE]
