This may be obvious to some of us, but when I moved here, they had the wire on the outside of the posts instead of on the inside and the cattle just pushed...
No the wire wasn't pushed over, it was broken every morning in a new place. It's got more splices in it than an old fishing net! ... the wire on the outside of...

I think the tape and the woven rope type I have are pretty similar and are put on the Fiberglass posts. It cost me $250 to have my small pasture done and it...
