I use it for lots of stuff. I wire cow panels together for instant pens. I wire the panels to T-posts. I use it anywhere I would need a piece of wire. I have cow panel trellis in the garden for tomatoes and I used the baling wire there.

Wire, not twine? That stuffs great! Besides panels I’ve used it to reattach windshield wipers, useful for temporary fence repairs, use with solid pieces of wood for sharecropper stays in a fence, unclogging the sink, wiring gates open when moving critters, wiring gate latches shut to prevent pig pen escapes, the possibilities are endless! Around here you almost never see wire anymore it’s all twine.

I used a bunch of old coat hangers to 'sculpt' a portrait of my horse. I would bet that you could twist that wire better and make something really cool... a flock of chickens for the flower bed... or wire up some pretty stones and bits of glass to decorate a porch...

Twine here too. I don't use much small bale hay anymore, but i do not want any wire tied hay.
Too hard on my hands and I don't need any stray wire laying around.
I just keep a roll of stainless steel wire for tying stuff up.
