If you had a tangle of old fencing wire and you were in a hurry you might use new wire, but when you had all your chores done you would go back and untangle that wire so the next time there was a break you would have it ready to use. I speak from experience having helped repair the electric fence that kept the cattle and horses from wandering off many times growing up.
Been there ,Done that. Run a new reel of barbed wire (eighty rods) and staple it as the top strand and take the old top strand to patch up the lower two using some mending wire to make the splices. Every spring before you let the stock out into the pasture as the first thing they were going to do was jog around the whole perimeter and inspect all your work.
