Third Times The Charm

J had 2 bulls out with the cows here.  They got into a fight a couple of weeks ago and tore out 500 feet of 3 strand high tensile electric fence.   J doesn't like working with the high tensile wire, it is very stiff and difficult to handle.  So he called the professional fence builders and they came and put it all back right.   
 Then the 2 bulls got into another fight in the exact same spot and tore the fence out again and broke off a post. 
 J and I fixed it back this time.
 This was as tight as we could get the splice knot.
 But the next day, the 2 bulls got into another fight in the exact same spot.  Two bulls tearing through the fence tightened the knot nicely, but tore it off the fence posts.
 This time M was here and helped out.  I think he won that tug of war.
Now the bulls are seperated and the cows with one bull have moved on to another pasture.  It was pretty frustrating fixing the same fence three times.
