[QUOTE="Fly-guy, post: 193260, member: 3252"] I am totally sick of fencing too! However, I find that it is a necessary evil if you want to keep your livestock home. I am using electric fence to keep our cattle out of the hay stack and have had just about all of the fun I want or need with the electric fence. I would recommend high tensil barbed wire and tee post no more than 12 feet apart. I think that in the long run you will have less maintenance and fewer problems with a 5 strand fence. I don't like to work with the wire but I find that the cattle don't like it either. I haven't had any trouble with livestock where I 've used it. The cattle tend to feed on the greener grass where I used the heavy barbed wire and as a result those fences have been streached just about as much as my sense of humor. If you decide to use an electric fence, I would recommend a good 110 volt charger and a 6' ground rod. Good luck with your fencing!!! [/QUOTE]
