I could very easily fence in about 100 acres by running two fences down into a swamp. It would require no more than 300 yards of fencing if the swamp would serve as a natural barrier to keep the cattle on my side of the swamp. Problem with running a fence through the swamp is the continuous dropping of junk on the fence. So I was wondering how adventuresome cattle are around water and swampland and whether they would - normally - walk across about a quarter mile of swampland with water depths ranging anywhere from 6 inches to 3 feet deep. Was thinking of just using this for emergency grazing and it would keep me from having to mow and would also help keep the woods clean. Anyone ever had any experience with something like this?
