that also means you should slaughter at the same time though

I would run two strands, I would also be concerned with using used wire, you don't know if there is a break somewhere which can create huge headaches for you. I usually run new tape every year just for that reason and it is relatively cheap. I had posted this before, you have a lot less acreage, but might give you some ideas to set up rotational grazing

I would used welded wire and t-posts, run electric at 6 and 24 inches and you can have two grazing plots set up, then just move one weekly.

I would have a central "barn" with a 20 x 20 paddock and rotate the grazing around it.

Would be the cheapest way to do it.

I would still run strands around the whole area though as a buffer zone if either got out. That's basically the direction we have gone, after dealing with the pigs escaping two years ago, we have several layers now where even if they get out, they have to get through a second layer.
