Hi and Happy Holidays,

What would take to build a fence that cows could not break through or jump
over? *We have a recurring problem with a neighbor's cows breaking through
our fence. *We are looking for an alternative to an electrified fence (I
posted a separate query about electrified fences the other day.) *The
problem area is at most 25..30 feet but we might get by with a 10 foot
section. *The fence is at the top of slope which makes it more difficult for
them to jump over it. *We have seen them break through and there were more
than on animal pushing. *We are in Costa Rica where during the upcoming dry
season the pool and irrigated plants will be irresistible.

Thanks,

I would bet that a 6 foot high wood fence that the cows could
not see thru would do the trick. * They tend to go thru places
that they can see thru. *Around here, such a fence would cost
a bit over $100 if installed yourself, and it doesn't have to be
substantial, --- just something that blocks their view....

hanging plants, or shelves, or whatever.

Pink is an acceptable colour in Costa Rica.
