Mid tier fencing (fg1)

Hi there, finally got an offer for mid tier scheme, applied for a fair bit of fg1 fencing.
Reading the guidance again it doesn’t say anything about stocknetting, just using plain or barbed wire?
I’m sure when I applied it was stocknet plus 2 strands barbed wire?
Can you use stocknet & barbed wire for this option?
If not how many strands are needed for sheep & cattle?
Cheers dh

Yes I noticed that this week, says ‘ use enough strands to control livestock’ so make of that what you will. Would be a real pain to have to have seven strands for sheep !
