Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Hi Paul,
If you just clip them up on lightweight posts they will sag without some major bracing.  Actually goats will walk normal field fence to the ground . . . don't ask me how I know lol.  The fencing I moved was 2x4 woven fencing.  It was worth reusing.  The area it was in was storm damaged.  I had a tree come down across the barn and fence in that area.  I didn't want to risk loosing animals there so I took it loose, rolled it up and finally wallowed it into the bed of the truck.  By the time I had it to the new location and got it set up I decided that the panels were worth the extra cost lol

Understood. I've never thought of anyone wanting to move field fence. It seems moving any kind of fence that's strong enough to hold animals in or out would be a challenge to say the least. I don't understand about sagging. We pass by a large field near the Sandia tribal resort that's fenced with field fence to hold their herd of bison on the Res. The posts are railroad ties maybe fifteen feet apart, but no support for sagging. If there were a problem I'd imagine bison would make it obvious since they don't respect any kind of fence.
