That's true!

I keep trying to tell Hubby, "look, the Brahmas are so good at it, they hardly ever take the fence with them!"

That's what I say!

The last three fence breakers we had, didn't have a drop of Brahma in them! If they would have been able to jump like a Brahma, it would have saved me a lot of work!

They can get frisky at any age. It really depends on the calf as to when/if it will break loose from your pen. I like the livestock panels for calves and small heifers. Then if you intend to put them out on an electric fence you can run a strand inside it to teach them what it is but, they won't be getting out in the meantime.

HA! I've had calves on a good 3 strand electric fence with an extremely strong fencer on and have them go through it! They need to learn what a fence is first.
