CATTLE FENCING IDEAS FOR YOUR FARM/RANCH
What happens here
For high-tensile electric fencing, install wooden posts and secure the fence wires. Electrified wires require rubber insulators at each post to prevent grounding. For gate supports and corners, use a double-bound system where two posts are braced together with a support piece and a high-tensile cable to prevent leaning over time. This fence should also have tensioners along its length to allow for seasonal adjustments (tightening in summer, loosening in winter).
Goal: Set up a durable and electrified high-tensile fence system
