[QUOTE="etmountianman71, post: 1517878, member: 21270"] Question for the expert minds: This is my first full venture is raising bulls to sell. All has been straight forward since weaning until full blown puberty. Have sold a few but still have two 17 month old teeanagers that will not quit fighting and breaking fences. I know if I had the money to put up guard-rail fencing for a bull paddock then my small problem would be fixed, but not there yet. I am sure that some of this will stop when I put the 2 1/2 yr old bull in with them after breeding. These hormone driven muscles are a venture, calm one minute then excited the next. I want to leave them in the 2 acre paddock so they have space and can graze, do not want to dry lot them in small paddocks. Any thoughts on heavy fencing? NO hope for barbwire, cattle panels are pretty good, and the high tensile hot fence bounces right back in place after they push through it. Not sure if a wooden fence with the cattle panels and a hot wire would be best? Thanks for suggestions. [/QUOTE]
