fencing for sheep?

[Cornish Heritage]

We run pigs, sheep & cattle together here & so the fencing has to work for all. We are gradually putting 5 strand Hi-Tensile up for all permanent fencing. Barbed wire is outlawed here due to the damage it can cause both human & animal. Yes there is still some old left but as we replace fence it gets torn out & taken to the Recycling place. If no Hi-Tensile then we run 3 or 4 wires of Polywire. Have the wide tape at the top for the cattle & then two or three strands of the white polywire for the pigs & sheep.

The sheep will go through the polywire once in a while but normally are very good.
