Default Cow problems

Well hunting season has been open for nearly a month here in fl and im still having the problem since i first hung the feeder.

The first thing i did was run one strand of barbed wire and the cows went right through it without any problems. The next thing i did was run two strands of electric wire and the majority of the cows learned to stay away, but theres one brave cow who runs under it to get inside. After i realized that idea failed, i ran my two strands lower and ran criss crossing strands to make an x. I really thought that would work, but the cow busted through it and took down 3 sections of the fence.

I need something that can keep the cows out, without keeping out the deer or the hogs.

Anybody have any tips? I was thinking of putting 5-6 inch pvc in the ground and running electrified steel pipes across them instead of the t-posts and electric fence wire, because the pipes wouldnt flex and allow the cow to run under it like the wire does.




Not the best picture, but you can see what damage has been done.
