My perimeter fence is 3 strands of smooth HT. One at my knee, belt and chest. Bull and wean'n pin is 6 strands about 8" apart. Never had a calf get out of the pen when it tested over 3kV. Never had any momma cows fight perimeter (or single strand of barb wire cross fences for that matter) when it tested over 1.5kV. Baby calves won't fight perimeter over about 2 or 2.5kV.
Unless you live in a very very arid area hot and not hot wires running parrallel are not a good idea in my mind. The only reason I would do it is if I HAD to use the not hot wires as the ground. One, with that system cow has to touch two wires at the same time to get hit. With all hot she just has to touch one wire and have one foot on the ground. Two, with some hot some not every time a tree limb falls making wire one touch wire two you are going to loose alot of voltage. Also with this set up a stray piece of baler wire or a loose jumper that comes loose will kill the whole system and can be a PIA to find, even with a good tester.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
