[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1803611, member: 37941"] I grew up in SD where you were judged by the quality of your fences. I live in an area in MN now that has fewer cattle than SD, but still plenty, and the fences are mostly junk. Why? Because most ppl run a single hot electric wire inside the old junk fence. My vanity compels me to still have a quality fence. But, I will confess -- I also run a strand of hot wire. It's cheap insurance/peace of mind. You list that you are in MN. Unless you are an outlier, you don't have any grass in your pastures (I know I don't), which leads me to believe the cattle were probably trying to reach through to grab something. Even more of a reason to consider running a hot wire. They may reach underneath but they will eventually hit the hot wire. [/QUOTE]
