My new neighbor from up north, bless his heart, wants to build a stronger fence to keep his bull in his pasture adjoining mine. He is also a rabid deer hunter. I, along with my cows, like the weak fence since I don't own a bull.
My solution is to pick a tree near where he will probably drive the first t-post and scrape the hell out of the tree about 8 feet up and tear up the ground under it leaving a few tracks coming into his pasture. Then I might also put up a cam for my enjoyment.

All cows no bull? There's a joke in here somewhere. When one of my neighbors bulls get enough lead in his pencil he can jump the other neighbors fence.

My girls are easy and the bull throws nice 70 to 80 lb calves. Great for my heifers. He is 1/2 black Angus and mine are charlais. They seem to be less picky in what they eat in the winter.

Will any fence made with t posts keep in a bull? Doesn't seem like it would be strong enough for a motivated bull.

I’m a transplanted PA guy who moved to far western Virginia about 30 years ago. We keep an Angus herd on one side of a river and Angus/Herford mix on the other. Over the years, we have found that just letting some stray neighbor bull have fun runs results in poor breeding results. Like PSU wrestling, it’s better to bring in well regarded STUDS.

Bull won't get far if he gets the #1 seed.

Keep the Bull in the pen on Friday mornings. That’s when they tend to climax.

I usually run 10-12 cows and heifers on basically 26 acres of pasture. Depends on how much hay I put up, when I go to auction you might as well get the check cut before the auction. The fix is in during lunch on who is buying what and how much. A longhorn brings what my charlais bring weight wise. Once I took 3 steers and 1 heifer calves in and got a check for 2 and 2. Lost tag my ass. They don't bid against each other.

Biggest downfall on me owning cows is I count them it, seems, like everytime I see them.

If my kids were still school age, I'd seriously be considering taking them out and have them home schooled here...
