Anchoring deer feeder legs?

Are those one piece legs you bought or those 3pc legs that will get torn up. I know a guy that did the 3 pc ones and told him cows or hogs would tear up, he still put up and a week later the feeder was in pieces everywhere.
I use just a 1" pipe about 30" long and then ubolt them together, but wire should work.

Yeah, unfortunatly, i found this out the hard way with the first feeder i put up, I didn't anchor it at all, needless to say, by the next morning it was ruined by the cows, next feeder i bought i used rebar and about 15' of wire on each leg, only thing that can take that down is our tractor. Either way, whether it's rebar, or T-Posts, they both work fine, so just figure out which one's cheaper.

Feeder bracing
We have a tall feeders with cattle, hogs and a lot of high winds so we have our feeders braced with T-post on each leg at an angle then wired to the feeder legs. The pic is not very good but it shows what I am talking about. We leave our post log because it makes it easier to install and remove, we are located in some very shallow soil areas, which make it very hard to drive short anchors.
