keep cows off feeder.
Hello everyone I was just wondering if anyone knew anyway to keep the cows away from my feeder. Would a fence around it keep them out. And if I did that would the deer jump it to get to it.

A friend of mine put fencing all around his feeder to keep the cows out and it realy worked. the cows couldn't get in and the deer just jumped over.

Use a couple strands of barb wire and it will keep the cows out and the deer will go through the strands.

I would just keep the fence pretty low. Deer can jump pretty high, but why make it hard for them? Cattle hardly ever jump more than 2 inches lol. It doesn't take much to keep them contained.

I put a fence around an apple tree that I wanted to keep for the deer. This tree was near my stand and the cows would congregate around the treefor hours eating all the apples. I just put up a cheap snow fence and it kept them out, out of sight out of mind I guess. The deer loved it they would come in hop over the fence and enjoy the apples all with 50 yards of my stand. Saw a lot of deer come to the fenced in apple tree.. Best of all the cows would go somewhere else.

I'm prety sure he is talking about either a gravity flow or a timed feeder for deer.

Easiest fence around a feeder is made from hog panels, three feet high by 10 feet long. Two panels per side, held up with T posts. Keeps out cattle, sheep, and goats, and whitetails will jump right in, except for the itty bitty ones.
