Ⅰ. The Importance of Livestock Fencing

1. Protect livestock safety: prevent wild animals from approaching, and at the same time, prevent livestock from escaping.

2. Prevent theft: solid fences can prevent livestock from being stolen and protect the property safety of livestock farmers.

3. Effectively manage pastures: by dividing different areas with fences, the pasture can be managed in a refined manner.

4. Improve land utilization efficiency: maximize the use of land resources and achieve balanced development of pasture and livestock.

5. Promote the healthy growth of livestock: livestock in the fence are not disturbed by the outside world, and a quiet and stable environment is more conducive to growth.

Ⅱ. Key points of livestock fencing construction

1. Choose the right material

Choose the right fence material according to the specific conditions and needs of the ranch to ensure the firmness, durability, and safety of the fence.

2. Reasonable planning and layout

Reasonable planning of fence layout according to the terrain, climate, and grass distribution of the ranch to ensure that livestock can make full use of grass resources and avoid overgrazing.

3. Pay attention to maintenance

Check the condition of the fence regularly and repair the damaged parts in time. At the same time, clean up the weeds and garbage around the fence in time.

Ⅱ. Types of livestock fencing

1. Permanent fence

Suitable for long-term use of pastures, usually built with solid building materials (such as wood, metal, concrete, etc.), with high stability and durability.

2. Temporary fence

It is suitable for short-term use or pastures that require frequent changes, such as seasonal grazing areas. This type of fence is usually constructed of lightweight, easily removable materials (such as plastic mesh, wire mesh, etc.), making it easy to move and rearrange.

3. Electric fence

A fence that uses electric current as a barrier to prevent livestock from approaching. Electric fences have the advantages of low cost, easy installation, and remarkable effects, but they need to be used safely to avoid electric shock accidents for people and animals.

IV. Application classification of livestock fencing

1. Galvanized Hog Panel

Also known as cattle fence or hog panel fence, is a rectangular solid grille, which is made of thick metal wire welded together and galvanized, and the mesh size can be different.

 

2. Cattle panel

Can be made of woven wire, barbed wire fence, or galvanized grille. Modern popular cattle fences are also used in DIY Garden Trellis, and they generally have bull panel fences, cow fence panels, deck railing cattle panels, and other types. 16ft cattle panel is a common size.

 

3. Goat Fence & Sheep Fence

Refers to the woven fence used to isolate and protect goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, and horses. Since sheep are good at jumping, we should pay special attention to the height and mesh size of the goat fence. For example, the no climb goat fence uses a small hole welded mesh.

 

4. Horse Fence

Horse Rail (also called “plank” or “board”) fences are popular on horse farms because they are attractive, highly visible, and relatively safe. Specifically, we suggest fencing heights of: 1.08 m – 1.38 m (3.6 ft – 4.6 ft) Ponies: 1 m – 1.3 m (3.3 ft – 4.3 ft).

 

5. Dog fence

Closer to a pet fence, you can DIY a dog cage or dog gate for outdoor use. Usually, it is a fence woven from welded grilles or chain link mesh.

 

6. Farm Fence

Also called farm gates, cattle gates, no climb horse fences, Agricultural fencing, livestock gates, or sheep wire fencing, it is also made of woven wire mesh, and the weaving styles are generally the following two. Wanzhi Steel supports customized mesh size, shape, height, and length.
