Livestock Fence

A livestock fence serves as a fundamental safeguard for modern farming, providing secure containment while ensuring animal welfare. These specialized barriers are engineered to meet the unique demands of different species, from grazing cattle to free-range poultry. The right fencing solution balances security with accessibility, creating defined boundaries that protect herds from predators and prevent straying without restricting natural movement patterns.

Durability stands as a hallmark of quality livestock fencing, with materials selected to endure constant animal contact and exposure to weather extremes. Modern designs incorporate advanced features like tension control systems and anti-corrosion coatings to maintain structural integrity over years of use. Beyond basic containment, these fences facilitate efficient pasture rotation and support biosecurity measures by controlling animal movement across different sections of a farm.

Farmers prioritize fencing that adapts to their terrain and management style, whether for permanent perimeter installation or flexible temporary enclosures. The evolution of livestock fencing reflects agricultural innovation, blending traditional reliability with contemporary materials to meet the changing needs of animal husbandry while optimizing farm productivity.

High-Tensile Wire Fencing for Cattle and Horses

High-tensile wire fencing offers a durable and cost-effective solution for containing cattle and horses while requiring minimal maintenance. Constructed from high-carbon steel with a protective coating, this fencing resists stretching and sagging, maintaining tension over time to prevent animal escapes. Its smooth, yet sturdy design minimizes injury risks while effectively containing large livestock.

The fence’s strength allows for wider post spacing compared to traditional options, reducing material and labor costs without compromising security. Adjustable tensioning systems accommodate temperature fluctuations, ensuring stability in varying climates. High-tensile wire can also be electrified, adding an additional psychological barrier that trains animals to respect boundaries with minimal physical contact.

Ideal for rotational grazing, this fencing supports efficient pasture management by enabling flexible paddock divisions. Its longevity and low upkeep make it a preferred choice for ranchers seeking a reliable, long-term investment. Whether used for permanent perimeter fencing or temporary enclosures, high-tensile wire provides a safe, strong, and economical containment system for cattle and horses.

FAQ

Livestock Fence FAQ

What is the most durable type of livestock fencing?

High-tensile wire and welded steel panel fences offer exceptional durability for containing large animals like cattle and horses, withstanding years of pressure and weather exposure.

How high should a fence be for horses?

A standard horse fence should be at least 54-60 inches tall to prevent jumping, with closer spacing between rails or wires to avoid leg injuries.

How often should livestock fencing be inspected?

Perform thorough inspections at least seasonally, checking for loose wires, damaged posts, and vegetation overgrowth that could compromise the fence's effectiveness.

What spacing works best for cattle fencing?

For high-tensile fences, 4-5 strands spaced 10-12 inches apart is ideal, with the bottom strand no more than 18 inches from ground to prevent calves from crawling under.
