[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 664006, member: 13"] To build our "permanent" electric fence, we bought defective 4-ft T posts from a place in Denton, TX. We used them to build a lane that opens into several grazing paddocks on one end and the corral at the other end. To build our "temporary" fences, we used a hydraulic post driver to put 1 1/2-2 inch piple in the ground about two feet, with about three feet sticking out for corners. We didn't brace them; should have because some of them are starting to lean. The posts between the corners are rebar, one foot in the ground and three feet above the ground. Our main problem with the temp fence is that deer knock the wire down and short out some of the system. But, generally, it works well for us. The permanent fence has held up well. The calves get introduced to it as babies and as adults they stay off of it. You need to have a good plan before you start: where's the water? How will you move them between paddocks? Which grass comes out first? Which paddock can you graze more often than the others? [/QUOTE]
