Fence suggestions
Okay, so we have 23 acres here. We have our front 3 acres fenced with field fence and a line of electric.
We will be finishing the top half of the property - which is mostly a hill with a 5 acre flat on top - for the horses in electric for about 10 acres total or more. . .
and I want to do everything in in between in electric only. . .and have the goats and cow in that. It would 10 acres more or less.
The goats are free range right now - the does and kids - of the day and stay around the barn, so the electric holding them isn't an issue. . . they never venture to the edges as it is. . .
My question is - with a strong charger - is 3-4 stands of the 14 guage wire with t posts every 24 feet with rebar with insulators between each t post. . .so it would be a T post, 12 feet with rebar, 12 feet a T post. . .etc. . .
sound okay? I am trying to cut back on the cost of posts by doing this, but should it work? I see people use the little step in posts to split fields with a single line of electric all of the time, and I assume this should be fine, but anyone have any opinions?
