Topband: Aluminum fence wire for Beverage

[Joe]

Did you use real Aluminum electric fence wire? The real stuff is 
tempered to be very strong under tension.
Geez 2000+ pound Bulls wont go through it. I have had tree branches 4" 
dia break before the wire breaks.

Last wire I used this with was a 1500 foot loop up about 60 feet.
