As much as you want....... maths would be your answer :-)
If you have 5-10 miles of wire then you would have 7500 V. This is suitable for farms up to 5-25 acres.

Well, first you need to know the length of barbed wire in a roll. Then you need to know the perimeter of the fence (in feet or metres) you are going to build around that 180 acres. Then, calculate it this way: (length of barbed wire in one roll) x (perimeter of fence of 180 acres) = (total length of wire needed for "n" ft. (or m) of fence perimeter of one strand) (total length of wire needed for "n" ft.(or m) fence perimeter of one strand) x 5 = (Grand total length of wire needed to fence 180 acres) (Grand total length of wire needed to fence 180 acres) / (length of barbed wire in one roll) = (# of rolls needed for a five-strand barbed wire fence for 180 acres)
The best wire to use for an electric fence is typically high-tensile steel wire. It is durable, conductive, and can withstand tension without breaking.

For a three-acre square-shaped lot, you'd need a minimum of about 1,446 feet of fencing.
To effectively use insulated wire for an electric fence, make sure to choose wire with a thick insulation layer to prevent electricity from escaping. Install the wire securely on sturdy fence posts, keeping it taut and free from obstructions. Connect the wire to a reliable power source and test the fence regularly to ensure it is functioning properly.
Yes the electric wire needs to run all the way around.
To determine if an electric fence is operational, you can use a voltage tester or a fence tester to check the voltage running through the fence. Simply touch the tester to the fence wire and it will indicate if there is a current flowing through it. Make sure to follow safety precautions when testing an electric fence.
sort of you need 2 acres per horse in a 2-strand wire fence.
80 acres is 880 x 440 feet. Depends on how many cattle and how rough they are on your post settings. Most people around here in Oklahoma put their t-posts roughly 16' apart. This will take 164 posts. A roll of barbed wire will usually run a quarter of a mile of fence. So on a typical 5 wire fence it will take 30 rolls of barbed wire.
