Whatever you do, build it strong! Sheep can be harder on fences than you"d ever believe. I used wood posts every 3rd, and two T posts between, on ten foot spacing. I didn"t use electricity, theorizing that a good wool coat would be a pretty good insulator. When the sheep start rubbing and scratching against the fence, or scraping their horns, or having butting matches thru the fence, it"s only a matter of time before they batter it up. We used the tractor to stretch our wire - doesn"t look like we bothered. We had one ram that found a loose strand of wire, and kept rubbing his horns on it, until they bled! And we raise the LITTLE guys - Shetlands. I can only imagine what a bigger breed could do, like Columbians!
