I use a lot of it. I can take a look out the window and see a dozen wells in this section alone. Pipe is prolific here. I was pretty glad to get a big load here a while back for 35 cents a foot. I also got sucker rod for 33 cents a foot. If you get pipe for less than a buck a foot here you aren't getting taken too bad.
I use one inch for the bottom rail and alternate with sucker all the way up. I use two inch for the posts and sometimes for the top rail depending on what I will use the paddock for I have had cows bend it a little if they are determined but the only ones that can get through are calves under 250 pounds.
Mine is all welded. I use my tombstone Lincoln with extensions on the supply cord and lead cords. I have used my mig as well but that pipe is always rusty and nasty so the Lincoln works well with a trash rod. I slide a piece of smaller pipe in the end of the pipe and tack it in four spots. Then I slide then new one on and tack it to the other long piece. They get welded to the posts. I've also used some wood posts. I set the big corner post and drill holes to put the pipe in it. I then put in the smaller wood posts and use the two "eared" conduit holders to hold the pipe to them.
One of my jobs on these warm days it to finish a loading chute I started. I am using wood posts and then putting the pipe on the inside so even if they want out they can't get the pipe off. I like them that way since I can use the hotshot through the sides. If you use wood the have to be spaced farther to do that. I load pigs there so the pipe will be about 8 inches apart.
Are there oil wells there? If there are wells there will be pipe. Call the oil companies and inquire. I don't know that you will get the size you want - ours is one inch and two inch.
