Soapweed sayes....
"But Juan, I thought a major advantage of running Herefords was that super good "black-proof" fences aren't needed."

I have seen horses eat Mock Oranges. They are hard as a rock but a horse can bite one in two.

Mock Oranges or Horse Apples as some call them will keep the roaches away too!

Slice and lay them outside around the house.

We call then hedge apples or Oshage oranges :? - - - either way the cattle and horses both love them :-) :) - - -the cattle have to let them lay a couple of extra days to soften. :o

Grandma always sliced them and put them in the basement to keep all insects and spiders away :? . - - - I'm not sure how good it worked but never question Grandma!!!! :D :D :D

I Only build my corners braced like an N. They will (in my opinion) take alot more pressure.

Do you have some pictures please

This conversation is over 21 years old, I do not think you will get many replies.

Most fences I see have the H Brace.

On rare occasions I have seen the N Brace lift a post out the ground. The brace can sort act like a pry bar or jack.
The sketches were not done by a professional.

From my days working for the conservation district I know that the horizontal pole on the H is not suppose to be on the top. I forget the exact location but about 2/3 of the way from the ground. I got to read the engineer explanation of this but that was over 10 years ago. People generally put it higher than it should be for the best performance.

I wasn't really sure about height. Didn't know if it varied with type and height of fence. On really steep ground I have even gone from the lower part of the uphill post to upper part of the next post downhill from it.
