^^^Yes! Yes and Yes. We are stocked and have pretty much what we need but I still worry.

No panic here, but concern for others who have less wiggle room in their budgets. I've been driving more lately due to volunteer obligations so gas prices have been noticeable.

I just want to invest in T-posts and sheep and goat wire.

You will be!! 
although I'm sure you meant buy into stock, not buy into fencing with.
Yeah, it's $110 a roll more than the same I bought this time last year, somewhere 40%+. Plus those t-posts are up about 60%. I would like 2 more 330' rolls and probably 30 more posts...??...over $1k. Thinking hard!!

Have you seen the prices of both? I was talking with my neighbor yesterday. I told him I have one more fence to build but I may just have to buy a roll here and there untill I have enough rolls to fence off what I need. I already have all the t-posts I just have to pull some of them up and place them where I need them (re-use) but still I was shocked at the price of both.
High Tensile 12.5 / 13.5 ga Bekaert Sheep and Goat | Non-Climb Fence | Bekaert Fencing
4x4 spacing, this is the best fence for your sheep and goat. Our Bezinal coating maximizes fence life and value. And a strong S knot design uses a separate piece of wire that attaches the line wire to the solid stay wire making it ideal for your animals.

@CrealCritter check various suppliers. TSC shows this Bekeart on sale, $92 off. And Red Brand...not high tensile. Heavier to handle....is slightly less.
It's all incredibly expensive! I'm wanting but, slow to spend!
. I'm also reusing posts, where I've dropped a couple cross fences, etc. Critical salvage

okie-dokes, no fencing projects this year and probably not next year either! Wow! That pushes pigs out to a 5-10 year plan. (I'm not complaining, LOL)
I wanted to expand my chicken run this year but, nah, it can wait!

times like this are when i keep my buy list and some extra funds handy to pick up some good values for the longer term.
i'm rather irked at one company about the infant formula problems. not sure how that is going to shake out yet. if i were someone who's going to have a baby i'd be figuring out how to breast feed ASAP.
Some people who can pump more than their child uses will donate it too!
