It shouldn't be that hard if you have a good, well-built, solid fence, nor if your cattle know to respect the fence and not keep getting out. The main reasons cattle will get out of a fence, regardless type, include the following:
- Weak wiring (wires have been string too loosely, or they haven't been nailed to every post--or even some places are missing nails)
- Top rail, wire or board is too low (Minimum height for a perimeter cattle fence is 54 inches tall; handling facilities or stock yards is 60 inches)
- Weak posts (rotten at the bottom)
- Old fenceline that has rotten posts and/or rusted, weak wires that will snap if pressure (in the form of a cow or steer sticking its head through to eat the grass on the other side) is applied to it
- Space between wires, rails or boards is too wide
- Space between the bottom wire, rail or board is too wide allowing animals to crawl underneath
- Space between posts is too far apart, or wire spacing is too wide or there is no spacer in between widely-spaced posts.
- You may be At Fault for not maintaining regular fence maintenance and repair before and after your animals enter and leave the pasture, respectively, or keeping an eye out for areas which animals could or have gotten out and have been proactive about fixing these problem spots
- If you are using a temporary electric fence, the current you are suppling is too weak, allowing your animals to lose respect of the psychological barrier it should be providing and allowing them to get out. This is particularly true if you are using a horse/pony-friendly fence charger instead of one that is made for cattle that is of much higher voltage--and gives a much stronger shock of electrical current through your body when you touch the wires!!
- With a temporary electric fence, you must make sure to cut the plants that may be growing up amongst the wires because they will short out the circuit.
- With a temporary electric fence, make sure you don't have any wires touching a barbed wire fence wires which will also short it out.
- Ground rods must be in place for your electric fence to work. They must have access to moisture in order for the fence to be effective. If the ground is dry from the top of the rod down to the very bottom, pour water over them to wet the ground and increase conductivity.
- Check wire amprage/voltage regularly with a voltage reader specially made for electric fences to make sure they consistently and constantly have enough current running through them to make them be a continuously effective psychological barrier for your cattle.

Why didn't the cattle drivers and farmers get along?
Farmers wanted to plow the land to sow their crops in, and had to fence off their property against unwanted guests like cattle. The cattle drivers, on other hand, wanted a fence-free country to move their herd of cattle across so they didn't have to make detours around all these fenced property. Sometimes they didn't even bother going around the fenced areas, but simply through them, ruining the farmer's hard work. This lead to confrontations between farmers and the cattle drivers.

Can cattle eating grass be fed to a rabbit?
Yes. If you want a little area just for your rabbits, just fence that area off away from the cattle, but so that only the cattle are excluded out from that area, but your rabbits can move freely from their area into where the cattle are grazing, if that's what you want to try to work with.

Does barbed wire harm cattle?
No. Barbed wire is the most common type of permanent fencing to use for cattle. It is designed to poke the animals in the skin so they don't try to go through the fence, but it's also good enough for them to scratch an itch on. Barbed wire seems to be one of the most effective types of fencing wire to use to enclose cattle on pasture than other wire. However, a piece of barbed wire laying on the ground that is ingested by a cow will hurt her. If that piece of wire punctures the stomach wall she will develop an infection called Hardware Disease. But wire on the fence that stays on the fence, will not hurt cattle.

Getting a strong fence helps keep your lawn safe?
