I tried this with some horses at our place and staked them well.  Everything I staked out in their pasture has been destroyed or moved, etc.  You probably will want to bury them.

I’m about to put in a radial field but the area is infested with Angus. Terrain is in its natural state, never graded, planted or anything, just coarse grass and weeds and pretty rocky and uneven. I was hoping to use lawn staples (lots of them) as they seem to have a very good grip in this soil.

My concern is that the cows will snag the wires or pull them up while grazing. Then 
I’m stuck trying to shallow-bury everything... ugh.  Anyone have any experience 
or advice on cows vs. radials?
