You have enough land for a steer or two, don't you?

I have to invest in fencing for that back 3 or so acres where a steer could live.

Would electric fence be a doable option for you? When our cows are out on corn stalks or wheat pasture that is all we have for them.

The way it is positioned in relation to the road and the distance from the house and sources for electricity we have to put permanant fencing for the best results. A cow that got out into the road on a blind hill would be more of a liability than I am willing to risk.

OK....just thought I'd put that option out. They do have solar operated fencers, but I don't have any experiance with those.

 

[MissPrissy]

We did look at those solar ones last year but if we plan to put that kind of money out there we may as well set a full fence.

What kind of fence are you thinking? If you are thinking some kind of board fence, I'd still run a strand of electric around it to keep them off of it. Cattle love to rub up against stuff to scratch themselves, and break stuff easily. lol

Not to mention how they always think the grass on the other side is greener and have to reach thru!! Our corrals are lined with electric fence for that exact reason.
