How big should a fence be around a deer feeder?
Choosing the right height If hogs are a problem around your feeders, 28- or 34-inch-tall fences will keep them from reaching your corn.

Most people have seen a decrease of deer activity and an increase of feral hog population.

Plus, as they move from area to area they travel in packs and can scare off any deer in the area.
Will hog panel keep cows out?
8 to 10 16’x34″ panels in a circle with one or two strands of barbed wire at the top if the cows won’t leave it be. Some hogs can jump the 34 inch height if motivated, so a strand or two of barbed wire will help keep them out as well. If you pen the feeders like above, you will not see many hogs. Its a trade off.
