Plan a livestock fence
Start with the job, the animals and the site. Then choose materials, calculate quantities and prepare a quote-ready project brief.
Start with your project
Turn measured fence lines, divisions, gates and roll length into a transparent starting quantity. Compare what changes between a 10-head and a 100-head operation.
Outdoor pig fencing Containment + biosecuritySeparate domestic-pig containment from feral-swine exclusion, then plan the perimeter, training area, electric deterrent and inspection routine.
Mixed-herd fencing Cattle, sheep and goatsReview how animal size, behavior, horns, climbing and predator pressure affect a shared physical and electric system.
Choose the fence
Compare fence family, wire gauge, coating and layout from livestock, terrain, use and pressure.
Choose by livestock Species comparisonUnderstand why a cattle-only perimeter, a calf area, a goat fence and a mixed-herd boundary do not share the same priorities.
Compare knot systems Fixed, hinge and S-knotMatch knot behavior to impact, terrain, maintenance expectations and project economics.
Estimate, install and maintain
Build an estimate from quantities, installation inputs and regional pricing rather than a price-per-acre shortcut.
Installation guide Field sequenceFollow the installation sequence from line planning and bracing to tensioning, attachment and final inspection.
Why cattle fences fail TroubleshootingDiagnose weak corners, incorrect tension, drainage gaps, livestock pressure, corrosion and maintenance problems.
