I am working on a larger room with horizontal furrings with vertical furrings every so often. With horizontal furrings do you still need to end on vertical furring?

Your butts should be nailed/screwed every 8" or so and I assume the horizontal furring is on 16" centers??? __________________ If you can read this, thank a teacher.
