[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1330630, member: 12607"] For 22+ years, all my perimeter and internal cross fences - except for the bull pen - have been 2 strands of electrified HT wire - with posts mostly at 100 ft spacings. Bull pen is 4 strands; mostly 100 ft post spacing. With the exception of the occasional pre-weanling calf that might squirt through and graze in the CRP bufferstrip(100ft wide) alongside the creek, they've pretty much always stay in. I have a closed herd that's 'grown up' inside this enclosure; I'd be afraid introduced animals might go right through without a thought, I'm not saying it's ideal...and if I ever had a prolonged period with no electric service, I'd likely be in trouble. But, it's been working... and likely will, for the foreseeable future. [/QUOTE]
