Im going to be cutting a pasture in half this year, haying one half and grazing steers on the other have. The perimeter of the field is pagewire and barbed wire.
I dont want a perminant fence but i want to keept these steers where the belong so im thinking of going with probably 4 or 5 wire electric.
My question is, should i use 16gauge or 12.5 gauge wire?
the 12.5 gauge works out to be about .036 cents per foot and the 16 is .026.
Im hoping i can catch a sale before i need this wire and get it a bit cheaper but what can i get away with?
