Planning on using perimeter trees to barbwire in about 30 acres. My question, I will be turning out 4-6 Longhorn cows, how many strands do I need ??
That's why we use electric Hi-Tensile. Cheapest & least maintenance. Biggest expense is the corner assembly, but if you are putting 7 strand TIGHT barb wire - you also need super good corner assembly.Too old to chase cattle of any breed. Great fencing is nice insurance. Yes, we overkill on fencing at RAF. But...we sleep very well at night...

If you must use the trees,you can nail a 2x4 to the tree first.
