How much fence are you talkin' about? If you're like the guy with the 50'x100' "pasture", just get some posthole diggers and do it by hand. If you need to set a few hundred posts, rent an auger. Be aware; it is still a lot of work! Forget the cement, if you're using wood posts. It traps water around the post, and shortens the life, without offering any benefit. Just tamp the dirt around the post with a piece of pipe, and it will stay right where you put it. Brace your corners well, and stretch your wire tight, and it will come out fine.

What are ya fencin' in, anyway?
