this shows how time has moved fences due to weather as well as stress on the corners

Subsidiary . . . Do It Homestead Inc.
Farmers and ranchers have for years used long (12') railroad ties, trees, 6 or 8" well casing, or 3" pipe buried in concrete in order to have their corners and fence ends strong so that their line fences would not pull the ends out.

As you will note above one cross brace has fallen and the other one is about to do so.
Again here we have a deeply berried RR tie and it is leaning
