its like we hve curse on our place about fencing. i had two steers in a field with 48 in. woven wire, wood fence posts, and two strands of really hot electric wire on top and bottom. the posts are spaced out a bit, but not so much that it should matter. the steers were tame, had plenty of grain and just as much grass on their side of the fence as on the other. anway, the steer lays his head on top of the wire, pushes the thing down and walks right over it!!! its so frustrating, ecspecially when the other day we were down in north carolina and saw some cows sitting right in this guys front yard, right in the smack center of town. there was about six of them, and all they had for fencing was a piece of rope about a foot of the ground and old wood posts about 2 ft. high! i just don't get it :???:
