Best Way to Fence a Feeder

[Arrowthreat]

Guys I'm trying to decide what I want to do this year to keep cows off my corn. I don't want to use barb wire or gates. I'm stuck between woven wire fencing with T-post, or using paneling. I don't care as much about the hogs, just the cows. Pics and suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks!

There is a place in Lometa that has portable panels just for deer feeders. I did a cost comparison and it cost a little more than using panels. Thats the route I will go when the time comes

Barb wire or 50" cattle panels are the best options for keeping cows out IMO.
I don't like tall panels, so I use barb wire with the bottom wire 18" off the ground.
Cows wont slow down for field wire without adding a couple strands of barb wire above.

We invested A LOT of money into the nice 40" portable tube panels to replace our old pens. Unfortunately, the cows jump them like nothing to get to our protein still. Pretty sad deal.

Is it just me or is that a giant turkey?!?!

these are 40" tall by 10' long at $30/ea and don't require driving posts and can easily be moved around.

It's an illusion plus a very small buck

Why not barbed wire?

Works great for me, and it's the cheapest route

I realized that after you said those are 40" panels.

Best thing I ever done was go with these.

Belly gets in the way of driving tpost.

Deer hopping in and out of barbed-wire feed pens will eventually result in you cutting one out of the fence.

Hell I have done that with both goat wire and panels...

whatever you do... make it a circle.
