Vinke nailed it. Water the ground and then watch how much respect your cattle can give it!
Also, if you keep them in a hot wire or reinforce the existing fence with a hot wire, make sure they have some sort of scratching post or they might run the siding off a barn.

I guess cattle are dumber than horses,  When we had our place I used a inexpensive battery charger with one hot wire (twine) to divide the pastures. One hit of that baby charger was all it took, they'd turn themselves inside out not to hit that wire when fooling around. Even if the charger was off they wouldn't dare to give it a go, lol....
