There is another area of the image that is unfortunate, namely the patch of dirt on the left. The fence might have been useful if sharp, but probably only if the angle is such that it serves as leading lines compositionally.
The fence could have been VERY useful, however, had you climbed it
The elevated vantage point would have helped you achieve the holy grail of photography: simplification of the mess around us. You would have eliminated the dirt patch, the fence, and the line of trees in the background, leaving only the essentials: cows and the meadow. Me thinks.
