Key Features 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 within the fence are not disturbed by the outside world, and a quiet and stable environment is more conducive to growth.

Livestock Fencing Application
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 sizes, shape, height, and length.
