You didn't say for what band. If for 160 or 80, I'd go with elevated
radials if practical. The good advice I've gotten (from N6BT) is that
18 ft is sort of a minimum height for 160, so half that for 80. Also,
of course, per N6LF, eight is better than four, because it maximizes
the uniformity of current distribution on the radials. My elevated
radials for 160 worked a lot better after I raised them from about 6
ft to about 18 ft.

I’m about to put in a radial field but the area is infested with
Angus. Terrain is in its natural state, never graded, planted or
anything, just coarse grass and weeds and pretty rocky and uneven. I
was hoping to use lawn staples (lots of them) as they seem to have a
very good grip in this soil.
My concern is that the cows will snag the wires or pull them up while
grazing. Then I’m stuck trying to shallow-bury everything... ugh.
Anyone have any experience or advice on cows vs. radials?
