My grandad kept alot more cows on alot smaller spot of ground than that for years with a single hot barb wire. I don't have the time mess with the fence every day like he did so my perimeter fence is "for the most part" 3 strand smooth HT. All my interior cross fences are single strand hot barb wires. I have never had a cow mess with a single hot wire if it was over 1.5kV. The problem is with a single wire is baby calves will slip under it and get in the neigbor's bean field. With that said, if you have cows some where else you could put dry cows there or bring a few of you calmest weaned calves that have been weaned behind a hot wire out and put them there for the summer. If you are just want'n it mowed and depending on weather/type of forage/ect 15 to 20 calves will not be able to eat as fast as the grass will grow, will put alot of lbs over a summer for little cost, and will look like a farm from the road.
Total flip side of this if you don't want to mess with it, lease it! Some one will fence it for a 5 year graze'n lease or some one will cut the hay off it for you. Some one will cut it on the shares, you put your 1/3 on the side of the road with a for sale sign on it. Bam! You have a real life working hay farm.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
