I would like to background 2-3 cows when I retire and would like to know the best kind of perimeter fence to use—woven fence, or high tensile electric fence, or other.
Gene Logsdon the author of All flesh is grass recommends woven fence over electric because woven fence is more effective and sturdier than electric fence. He recommends woven fence even though woven fence is a "little" more expensive and harder to build correctly than electric.
Mr. Logsdon also says that for very small areas, around 5 acres, he would use cattle panels even though the cost is twice as much as woven fence.
Do you agree with Mr. Logsdon assessment if you were only fencing a few acres?
Thanks,
Steve
