Jarrell, if you look around closely, you will notice that farmers normally place barb wire on the pasture side of the post ie: along a road the posts will be on the road side of the wire. Cows are notorious for sticking their heads thru the fence to get at the grass (grass is always greener on the other side of the fenceCowboy [C):-)]). If the wire is on the road side of the post the cows pushing on the fence will push the staples out of the post and ultimately get out.

Very nice job on that fam and barnyard, NSMachinist. If I can ask, how did you make that fence? I assume you had some kind of jig since the construction looks so perfect. The pond is a really nice touch too. I've got get some ducks for my pond since my daughter loves ducks.
