It is nice to have a large property for antennas plus perhaps less RFI
but my guess is that the cows will win this battle. Even shallow
burying may not work if the ground gets soft during rainstorms and
stepped on by a 1500 pound cow. You did not describe your antenna or
support or what band it's for, perhaps there are other options.

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?
