A wire fence, comprising:

• a plurality of fence posts, each fence post being formed from a single piece of material and including:
• a stem portion;
• a rear flange portion, wherein the stem portion is interconnected to the rear flange portion by at least one bend in the single piece of material, and wherein the stem portion is perpendicular to the rear flange portion;
• and
• a plurality of receiving apertures, wherein each receiving aperture in the plurality of receiving apertures includes:
• a slot portion, wherein the slot portion is open at and extends from a front edge of the stem portion and extends away from the front edge of the stem portion and toward the rear flange portion;
• and
• a retaining portion, wherein the retaining portion is in communication with the slot portion;
• and
• a plurality of fence wires, wherein a first fence wire is received in one receiving aperture of each of the fence posts, and wherein a second fence wire is received in another receiving aperture of each of the fence posts.

A method of constructing a wire fence, comprising:

• setting first and second braces at opposite ends of an intended fence line;
• setting a plurality of fence posts in underlaying ground along the intended fence line, wherein each fence post in the plurality of fence posts includes:
• a stem portion;
• a rear flange portion;
• and
• a plurality of receiving apertures, wherein each receiving aperture of the plurality of receiving apertures is disposed in the stem portion and includes:
• a slot portion, wherein the slot portion is open at a front edge of the stem portion and extends away from the front edge of the stem portion and toward the rear flange portion;
• and
• a retaining portion, wherein the retaining portion is in communication with the slot portion,
• wherein the fence post is formed from a single piece of material, and
• wherein the stem portion is interconnected to the rear flange portion by at least one bend in the single piece of material, and
• wherein the stem portion is perpendicular to the rear flange portion;
• fixing a first fence wire to the first brace;
• placing the first fence wire in one receiving aperture of each fence post in the plurality of fence posts, wherein for each fence post, the fence wire is placed in the slot portion of the one receiving aperture and then pushed into the retaining portion of the one receiving aperture;
• and
• fixing the first fence wire to the second brace.
