    Seen this on you tube for quick tightening of barbed wire
    Can't see the wee thing that tensions it tho,
    And I presume he should have started on the top strand for most leverage

    Cattle alone has to be electric fencing, high tensile wire two strands along roads and one strand internal. Pressure treated posts and the best corner posts you can afford. Also an excellent earthing is ESSENTIAL!! Saw a neighbour spend a fortune on electric fence, never had it around the place before, did a decent job erecting it and couldn't understand animals walking under! Had it earthed with 1 tine off a haybob!!! We soon sorted it. Introduce sheep and you're gonna have to go with sheep wire IMO no other way. Then either barbed or electric on top
