My message won't answer your question, it's more of a question itself:
Why would you want to kill the grass? That leaves a ribbon of bare ground, where weeds just naturally will germinate & always forever more be a problem. As well if you don't have flat land can be an erosion issue.
Many people want to kill off the broadleafs and tree stuff, but leave the grass grow, so that there is very little need for sprays once the problem gets cleared up.
A fence should be able to be built that grass won't interfere with.
I'd use some of the good and persistant broadleaf/tree killers, and try to get the grass to grow extra good in the fenceline to hold back the stemmy weeds from being a problem.
Others have good answers for what you want to do.
It's hard to get a chemical to last for more than one year in the soil, and not have it be an environmental problem, so those types of herbicides are rare and need licences and such to apply..... Those are the things that show up in well water, fish, and so forth, and are regulated for good reason. Be careful with these long-lasting items, they truely are a different sort of thing to be handling. Here's where I start liking the salt, lemon juice, and vinegar ideas better in the hands of common folk. :) Those long-lasting herbicides are a threat to us all if not handled carefully.
