I've never seen an electric fence stop a deer that was designed to stop cattle. Deer will jump the fence to get to the good food, sure it might shock them the first time but it will not take them long to figure out that it is there and how to get over it. Just run a single wire about waist level and it will stop the cows and the deer will still get in. We fence my father's fields this way every fall to winter the cows on and I still shoot a deer almost every year on those fields.
