Lynn, I thought I asked before, if I did, I apologize for asking again.
What is the heigth of your five strand tensile? Is it high >enough to
prevent cows and goats from escaping?
Bob; you did ask, but I forgot to answer, sorry. I think it's about 4'. It's
more the distance between the wires that keeps them in. You can keep dairy
cows in with one strand (calves and bulls are more adventurous). Deer are
the only critters I know who will jump it; the others try to climb or
squeeze between the wires...the electric shock discourages that. Although a
sheep in full wool doesn't seem to feel it...that's why there's so many
strands...they can't physically fit through.
