[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1259118, member: 12607"] Grew up with barbed wire and some net wire. Would never go back to it. For the past 20 years, have run cows/horses on 110 acres of pasture surrounded and subdivided with electrified HT; about a mile of it running through the woods(40 ft in from the wood's edge). Easy to repair/tighten; much more issues with stuff growing up into it, draining current, out in the open than in the trees - really only have to remove the occasional limb or tree that falls on it - and it just pops right back up. Have never felt the need to spray the fenceline through the woods... but runs out in the open need some spot-spraying every year. On my second fence energizer... first one only lasted about 15 years. Yeah, a lightning hit can take it out, and long-term power outage could be a problem - but I've had less repair issues and fewer escape events with electrified HT fencing than I ever did with barbed wire fences.
