Apiece Mike.

A corner post , brace, and brace post would come to 90 bucks without brace wire.

Zoinks, Scoob!

I’ve got to put in about 1,500’ of boundary fence around the new pond. I don’t even want to know what a mile of barbed is going to cost. Got the posts bought locally, but the wire?

Bought a mile of barbed wire the other day and it was about $200.

I'm not big on pushing .gov programs but several years back when I put in cross fencing the local NRCS had a program that would reimburse a certain percent if it was for rotational grazing. I was doing it for exactly that and was also fencing around a pond as part of the rotation. The NRCS called the fence around the pond an "exclusion" fence and reimbursed at a higher $ because it helped prevent erosion. Again, I'm not pushing the .gov tit but if you're going to do it anyhow it would be worth looking into.

Thanks for the heads up, but this is the storage pond / pivot pond between the fish farm and the hay fields, and all I am doing is keeping the #$%%% neighbor's cows out of the place. Especially when they are moving pasture and driving them up the road. Five strand barbed on 5" treated posts ought to take care of that,

I don't do cows, unless they are on my plate...... wink

Three barbs, on steel posts spaced a rod apart should turn the cows.

We get way too much snow to be able to go 16' apart, unless you put a dancer between each post.

We have built about 25000 feet of pipe and cable in the last few years, you want to spend money on fence for live stock and horses this will do the trick, very low on up keep. We are covered up with Turkey's, you can't build a fence they can't fly over. Rio7

A "dancer" around here is is thin post, usually a lodge pole pine, untreated, that's not in the ground. Same purpose as a twisted wire in your picture.
But small lodgepole pines are free for the cutting with an inexpensive forest service permit...... A good excuse to head into the mountains in the summer on a hot day.

That's a nice looking fence you got there......

The picture I posted to show the stays was a web image,

This is what most of our fences look like,[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

What failed?

There are zoos that hold ephelants with pipe and cable.

Mike, the cables were on turnbuckles, and springs, the cattle simply pushed through the cables.

The original cable fences were made with cheap oilfield used parts.

OK.

I know some folks here that use drill pipe and wireline wire for fencing with great success for horses.
