I live in Texas and I am considering running feeders year round this year for the first time. Up front, yes it is legal and I'm not here to argue ethics, morals, and so on.

Hogs have hit us hard this year and we are going to build a "pen" to keep them out. I have heard lots of ideas on this, but our pen is going to be barbed wire (probably 3 strands) and probably 3 foot high.

My question: Almost all hogs in our area cross under fences (duh, I know), but how low should my bottom strand be to prevent this. By the way, we are not talking small southern javelinas. We are talking HOGS and their piglets. Any opinions, experiences, or so on??? Thank you in advance for your input.
