We got one strand of fence around all the fields, probably close to 80 acres.
That one strand is about 34 to 36 inches off the ground.

Even with the charger off the cattle still don't like to mess with the fence.
At one time there were nearly 200 cattle (cows and calves and 2 bulls.)
Newborn calves will sometimes venture out, but they always come back to mama. The others might jump the fence if something spooks them. But otherwise they stay where they are supposed to.

Get on the 4 wheeler and ride up in the field where they are all gathered around eating grass and check on them. Treat it as a visit and talk to them. You know, "How ya doing. Getting enough to eat. Feeling ok. Any problems, questions, or complaints?" Visit every single one of them. I know it sounds crazy but I think they get used to the sound of your voice and get used to being close to you. Then when it comes time to do anything with them they aren't nearly as much trouble. If they are used to being around you they stay calmer.
Gives me something to do too when I get aggravated about something or just need to get out of the house for a while. I can go visit with the cows.
