Choosing The Best Cattle Fencing

By Virginia Sullivan


Picking the right perimeter for your ranch can help to minimize loss of livestock. This is because a good fence will ensure that cows, goats, horses and other animals cannot jump out of the designated area or dig under. A good perimeter also ensures that unwanted visitors and predators are kept out. When it comes to cattle fencing there are a couple of factors to consider.

One option is using a stockade fence. This kind of perimeter is easy to install and requires little maintenance. This kind of fence is ideal for small livestock as well as goats, turkeys and chicken. Stockade fences are commonly made using cedar.

Cedar is commonly used when making stockade fences. Be that as it may, with limitations on gathering more established cedar, wood enterprises are beginning to utilize other tree species, for example, White fir. You need a material that will not rot easily.

You could likewise settle on wire fences that are animal-friendly. Wire fences that have no sharp points are useful for containing dairy animals, steeds, goats and other domesticated animals that like to stay close to the edge. Smooth wires guarantee that the danger of injury to the animals is diminished. It likewise guarantees that creatures do not get snared. One line of barbed wire can be placed on top of the fence to keep undesirable creatures out.

A wooden rail fence can also be used by farmers to keep animals in the right places. This kind of perimeter is ideal for large animals such as horses, small herds of cows and sheep. While vinyl is increasing in popularity, most people often prefer a rustic, aesthetic quality fence made out of wood. You could have a fence with a couple of rails.

Treating wooden rail fences gives them a darker color. This process helps to preserve the wood so that it lasts for many years. After a while you could also paint your fence without meddling with the properties of the wood.

Another option is to use cattle guards. This eliminates the need for gates with latches. It will save time for you whenever you want to drive vehicles quickly onto pastures. You need not get out of your vehicle to open a gate or lift a latch. These guards are made from round or square steel tubes. You need to have a durable and well-constructed guard.

The type of fence that is ideal for you will depend on the animals that you keep on your farm. If you keep horses for example you need to ensure that notice the fence clearly so that they are not entangled. This means that it might be preferable to get a wooden rail fence when you keep horses as compared to a wire. You need to have a fence that is at least 55 inches tall. The strength of the animals will also determine the best fence to go for. If you keep bulls, for example, you need a large wire gauge and thicker posts to keep them locked. There are plenty of options you can choose from when making a perimeter for your ranch.
