When it comes to deciding frames, they will depend on the size of your animal. As an instance, horses require the tallest frames. Whereas, cows, goats and hogs need relatively smaller frames. It’s equally important to ensure the frames are not stopping the animals.

5. Consider Electrified Fence

No doubt, cattle panels are extremely strong and long lasting. Since animals such as cows like to lean, the panels may bend or even break. Whether you have bulls to separate or considering cows are not putting weight on your fence, you can supplement electricity to the panels.

My Lamancha goats are presently enclosed by cattle panels (T-posts spaced 8' on 16' panels) for their night pen and I use sheep & goat woven wire fencing for pastures (T posts spaced 10'). My buck and wethers are separated from the does night pen by the same cattle panels (50" height) and are strictly retained in their pen. Once the rut/breeding cycle is over, I'll let them back in with the girls full time. I have yearling does that are too young/small to be bred. The buck climbs up on the cattle panels to look over. They take that quite well while woven wire fencing would not. They all do rub on the CPs & pasture fencing, but the woven wire is pretty heavy duty. They bow it out between T-posts a bit (again, spaced at 10') but I don't have an issue with it. I could run a knee height strand of hot wire and put a stop to it, but right now they eat the plant growth down low and they wouldn't do that if they got shocked every time they tried. I prefer them eating it to using poison.I used the CPs for the night pen because I only needed like 10 or 12. The advantage is if/when I need to dismantle the pen, I cut the tie wires and have CPs I can use again elsewhere. Hard to save woven wire fencing once it's used.There are pictures of my goats and night pen as well as pasture fencing on my journal https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/latestarters-ramblings-musings-gripes-and-grumbles.33505/ Here you can see one of my huzzy does in heat waving at my buck through the fence. She's actually outside the night pen in the pasture. He's inside his buck pen. They get their chance to make babies in another week or two as I want late March kids.
