We were told it was high enough that the heavy footed cows can't jump it, and the deer don't consider it an obstacle. I saw the cows milling around in the area yesterday morning so I went down last evening to check to see if we sustained any damage. So far, so good! This morning and this evening we had deer munching on the "thrown out" corn. That's a good sign all is well.

Hog Panels
Wondering what hog panels are? I didn't know either until we bought and installed some around the deer feeder. Basically they are just panels of wire about 3-4 feet high and 16 feet long. We were told to install some around the deer feeder to keep the cows away from it. We had a couple of very naughty calves last year who kept reaching up into the wiring, etc. to pull off the mechanical parts of the feeder. Eventually they broke it. So this was a solution that was suggested.
