What happens here
After establishing the initial polywire line, create entry points for the cows using spring gates. These are typically composed of a polywire attached to a gate handle and connected to the main fence line. When the cows need to move, simply unhook the gate handle to create an opening and guide them into the next paddock. This method also involves using multiple permanent posts around watering points, creating several gates for flexibility.
Goal: Create access points for cattle and integrate watering solutions
