[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 413732, member: 6496"] I wouldn't use those log slabs, they don't look thick enough. We only use 4" 8' long posts and put them in about 2' deep. Perimeter fence when we replace it in the next few years will be at 4' centers, the bull and stallion pens are at 4' centers, and everything else is at 6' centers. The fence that divides the pasture is metal T posts and the current perimeter fence is T posts. We found a 3" wood post in the barn when we moved in and put it in the middle of a section of a calving pen and that very winter two cows were up and one pushed the other against that 3" post and it broke off at the ground. Sounded like a gunshot went off. Novatech said it best, fence is too much work to have to do it twice. Better to overbuild than under build in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
