[QUOTE="rwtherefords, post: 120946, member: 778"] My loading pen is made like Susie David said. The posts are telephone poles or railroad ties, and the wood rails are rough sawn oak 2X6's nailed in place with pole barn spikes. Haven't had anything go over or through it yet. Not even close. Had a wild 1200 lb heifer try to jump over the side before the rails were installed, and the panel collapsed under her body weight. Caught the same heifer in the same pen after the rails were installed and try as she may, she could never get close to going over the top. She made some great eaten! :) I also agree with the others who said that it depends upon the bull. I've seen bulls that 4 strands of barbed wire on T-posts was enough to separate them from cows/heifers. I've seen other bulls that nothing seemed to hold. Those usually grow wheels in my area.
