Harv, best of luck with high tensile and sheep. I found the sheep need to be trained to electric from birth or it's a nightmare, and it works best with the hair breeds. I've gone to electro-net, much better for rotational grazing, and Paige wire on perimeter fences.
How far apart the posts can be depends entirely on the lay of the land, type of land and what you're fencing in. Chevys pic of nice straight runs with short turf is nothing like the winding, up and down and over ledge and through swamp, brush and trees I have. And no matter what, you'll need to either mow or spray or get your stock to eat just under the fence or the grass and weeds will grow up on it, the snow and ice will collect and the whole thing will fall apart over time. I agree with Mark on the corners. I build corners that are 10x what the books show and they still loosen in some years.
The high tensile fence people are great salesmen. I love the idea, but in practice sometimes you have to have a post every 10 foot or whatever.
