[QUOTE="Timmer, post: 1803747, member: 41381"] I appreciate everyone's input! We are not a big operation. Our pasture is 4 acres. The cattle that escaped were yearlings that arrived 2 weeks ago, so they are new to the environment and still relatively small. I'm sort of an "anything worth doing is worth overdoing" kind of guy when it comes to building stuff. The first time I met a neighboring farmer he said "I don't even want to talk to you.... your fence makes the rest of us look bad." My corner posts are 12' 6x6 with 7' under ground. My other posts are 10' apart. The top wire is at 52". Rungs are 12" apart. I have high tensile barbed wire and it's is stretched tight. I can't take a picture of the hole as it's been fixed. Here are some pics [ATTACH type="full" alt="H config.jpg"]29963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Mid posts.jpg"]29965[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
