[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 708536, member: 7509"] I suggest using aluminum rather than poly for cross fences and on a Gallagher reel. Using a good reel makes all there difference in the world to the success or failure (= too much work) of a rotational grazing system. Here is the Gallagher reel: [img]http://www.gallagherusa.com/gglcommon/thumbnails.generator.aspx?size=400&docid=5240[/img] [url]http://www.gallagherusa.com/electric-fencing/permanent.component.aspx?mktprodid=759[/url] Aluminum is also almost as light as poly but a lot less likely to leave slivers in your hands than poly and doesn''t stretch and droop as much. Put a light spring handle on one end of the aluminum to hook over a hot wire and hook the non-conducter metal hook on the reel over a cold barb wire near a post with a few step ins (the Gallaghers stepins are worth the money here too) every 8 - 10 paces and you have a simple fast, no sliver cross fence system that you can reuse almost indefinitely. Tying poly together just is not a long term acceptable system in rotational grazing in my opinion. The easier and less troublesome the wire moving is, the more likely you will do it. Jim [/QUOTE]
