Kelly what you have done now is more or less called pollarding sort of crossed with coppicing.
You are going to end up with a ton of new growth all over those stumps.
If you would have posted about what to do I would have recommended leaving one trunk going up and cutting the rest back to the trunk all the way up above the fence.
But no big deal now you will just have to get a good set of loppers and be diligent about it for awhile.
Your young and have the time.
