I recommend using hog panels vs. cattle panels. The lower the fence and larger the fence, the more comfortable the deer are with going in it. A regular hog panel will keep cattle out without a problem, if you have goats or sheep it's a different story...then you need to run at least one of not two strands of barbed wire across the top of the panels. There's no need to bury the panles, just make sure that they are flush to the ground. Also the more t-posts you use the less likely for a hog to try and push or dig there way under it. As long as you build it large enough so that the feed stays inside the pin you shouldn't have any hogs hanging out after they figure it out. We build all our pens at least 2 panels x 2 panels...for a 32'x32' dimension. If you can go larger that is better.
