[QUOTE="customcattle, post: 1460417, member: 23133"] I don't think that your 6x6 posts are overkill. I don't like going below 6" round posts in a corral system, and if it is in a high pressure area like an alley I go with rail road ties. I have had some ignorant cows hit 6" posts and crack them, but never break. 2x6's work well, but if there is much of a span between posts will be weak. With the depth that you are setting your posts they should be there until they rot off at ground level. I would be interested to see a sketch of your plans. [/QUOTE]
