What would you recommend for fencing in a winter swath grazing situation where the fence needs to be moved every two days and the ground is frozen.

You can use IntelliTwine on fiber rods to hold the cattle. When you need
to move the posts use a cordless drill to make new holes in the frozen ground.

The problem I've had with winter fencing (electronet to allow acces to scattered big round bales one at a time) is getting the posts OUT of the frozen ground. Are the fiberglass posts easier to pull when frozen than the steel ones?

I've been envisioning making concrete blocks with post-size holes in them, and just moving the blocks along the frozen ground...breaking them loose with a sledge if needed.

Fiber rods will freeze in just like steel. Some people have put posts in
cement that is in a coffe can. Easier to break free from the ground when
frozen
