[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1650408, member: 20580"] We rotational graze about 10 pairs plus a couple heifers on a similar amount of acres. We have 2 main pastures and we split the larger of the 2 with electric fence as we usually bale 1 cutting of hay off the half we plan to graze last then by the time we are ready to graze it has grown back. Electric fence never will do as well of a job as a permanent fence will and we also have deer that don't respect either type of fence and can run right through an electric fence too. Have found that cows usually respect the electric fence as long as they have plenty of grass to eat then once it starts to get eaten down then they start grazing the fence lines more and all it takes is for 1 to lean up and snap a wire or push up against a post to create an opening for the rest of the herd to follow them into where they should not be.
