The Important Tips In Cattle Fencing

By Edna Booker


It is common for farmers to fence their ranches on their own. All that is required is basic knowledge, dedication, effort and time. In some cases, however, a farmer may seek the services of the cattle fencing contractors to handle the job. This is particularly due to the fact that large ranches with many animals need a lot of expertise for a proper barrier to be erected. Experienced contractors should to a very high quality job with reasonable price to charge.

For any fence, there are two main requirements. It should be able to contain the livestock inside, and the design should in such way that it achieves the longest possible lifetime. There are many dangers when the cattle are allowed to wander in the neighborhood. In fact, it can get into problems. However, it is even more dangerous if they wander onto the freeway as it can cause a major accident. This means that you have to give a lot of consideration to the materials used and the design of the fence.

Generally, a cattle fence has to meet two main requirements; to contain the animals within the enclosure and to last long enough. In order of the two requirements to be achieved, the fence design has to be right.

Farmers have two main categories to choose from for fencing. The two options are the electric fence and a conventional fence. While the electric fence uses electric shock as a psychological barrier, the conventional fence uses visual barrier and physical barrier for deterrence. The conventional fences can be constructed using the barbed wire, the plain wires, or the fabricated rolls.

In order to construct a conventional fence, the farmer has to choose from barbed wires, plain wires or the fabricated rolls. The fabricated rolls are stronger, easy to work with, and lasts longest but are also most expensive. For electric fences, there are several things that make part of the fence. In most cases, the fence comes as a kit and has to be installed by experts.

At the point of decision making, the farmer can choose to use the conventional fences that are cheaper or the electric fences that are a little bit expensive. The electric fence comes in a kit and has is installed by experienced technicians. It relies on shock generated by electric current to form a psychological barrier to the animals. The conventional fences rely on the physical and visual barriers for animal deterrence.

For the conventional fences, each component is bought on its own. For the wire, a farmer can choose the more expensive but easy to install and long lasting prefabricated rolls, the barbed wires, or the plain wires. Each of the types is available in different gauge (strength) and tensile strengths. There are several options the farmers have for the posts. The common ones are the steel (suitable for areas with high risk of fire), the concrete, and the timber (treated and untreated).

Generally though, there are several options available for farmers, and through the internet, it is possible to gather enough information to guide you through and help you construct a highly durable fence that deters the livestock and prevent them from roaming into the neighborhood.
