Tighten your fence at the wood posts, but like Chris said, you pull it tight using your tractor or by attaching a come-along to your tractor. Try to avoid using your wood posts as the anchor for the come-along. Once you have your tension, staple the fencing to the wooden posts, I use 2" galvanized, then tie up the fence at each T-post before releasing your tension. The T-posts simply hold up your fencing. They will not maintain horizontal tension.
The clips Bird is talking about usually come with your T-posts. TSC will typically provide 5 clips per. Since you said you have existing T-posts, Bird showed you where to get the clips.

Thanks for the help. I am talking with my local butcher to supply some sheep and goats for them. I just needed to make sure the fence was up to the task before starting this.

The few goat we currently have are pets. They get out to come visit when we are outside. I have found them in the house a couple times when the boys left the door open. We just reseaded some of our pastures due the the damage caused by the drought last year. Boy seed is expensive these days.

Thanks for all the help.
