Fencing is something of which I have thought a lot.  On my ideal homestead 
(I'm still planning and thinking), I think fencing will cost significantly 
more than my housing.  I plan to build very simply. 

 But, the best fencing, done properly, could do a lot of my work for me.  I 
remeber too many times as a younster helping farmer's kids chase 'got-away' 
pigs, cows , etc. back out of the woods.  Plus the proper fencing woulsd keep 
the predators at bay; and the wrong animals from being around gardens and 
fruit trees.  Why did your fence cost so much?  Is it high-tensile or what ?

 Last year I spent $25,000 to have my whole property fenced...it was either 
do that or get out of farming....I'm still not sure I made the right choice.
