Concrete is a great material under compression, as I'm sure you know, but is very weak under tension. Not sure what kind of fence you are considering, but for livestock that may push the fence, the posts would not be terribly strong. Without rebar, the posts would definitely crack and fail. Another big problem with this idea is the method of attaching wire, rails and braces. My father came up with this idea a few years back, and we made a few posts of concrete and I am not wild about them. I'd rather put in a cedar fence twice than mess with concrete.
