Cattle Fence

Cattle Fence Information

High-tensile fixed-knot cattle fences installed by Tejas Ranch & Game Fence are excellent for livestock control and outperform traditional barbed wire and hinged-knot fences in every application with superior durability, flexibility, and safety. Even more important, high-tensile fixed-knot fences last longer than other types of fencing, which translates into a superior livestock management tool that saves landowners time and money spent on maintenance, repairs, and replacement.

Performance of Tejas Cattle Fences

• Fixed-knot superior strength is less likely to slip or give under pressure.
• Fences are built with heavy-duty Class 3 galvanized wire.
• All have a 20-year warranty.
• These fences are stronger than typical “bull” wire or field/hinge fencing.
• They last three times longer than field fencing.
• Vertical stays give fence more rigidity.
• Posts can be spaced as far as 25 feet apart.
• The fencing stays tight with less than 1% elongation over its service life.
• Deep crimping creates memory for optimal flexibility to absorb impact, severe weather, and climate change.
• The fencing does not sag or squash down as other fence materials will.
• It’s virtually maintenance free.
• The fencing can be predator deterrent or predator proof, depending on setup.

Cattle Safety

Cattle are unable to put their heads through the wire mesh pattern or step through a gap in the fence and become entangled. This type of fencing is especially advantageous for cow-calf operations because of its inherent safety. In addition, the material causes less hide damage to animals who rub against it.

Cattle Fence Costs

Building or replacing a fence comes down to value versus cost. High-tensile fences provide significant value, as detailed above. And over the long-term, these superior fences cost no more to install and maintain than barbed wire. The 25-foot spacing requires fewer end posts, which reduces installation costs. Longer-lasting materials reduce maintenance and replacement costs over time. These fences also typically last more than three times as long as a traditional barbed wire or hinge-joint fence.

Selecting Cattle Fence Specs for your Application

Tejas Ranch & Game Fence team members can choose from a wide variety of height and mesh patterns to install the cattle fence that best suits your needs for years to come.

Our recommended cattle fence material has 9 horizontal wires and stands 49 inches tall. Vertical spacing is available in 12-inch, 6-inch and 3-inch lengths. For boundary and pasture fences with low pressure or ones that run over long distances, we offer the 12-inch vertical spacing. This spacing is more cost effective for long-run fence lines. For internal or corral use, we recommend 6-inch vertical spacing for greater strength. In higher pressure areas, 3-inch spacing provides maximum strength and animal control.

Additional Options

We also offer predator control barriers and water gap installation, which enable team members to customize fences to suit virtually any terrain or need.

For the ultimate steel mesh, we can provide a profile with a zinc-aluminum coating that is highly resistant to flaking, cracking, splitting, and separating. This Class 40 Zinc-Aluminum coating provides the highest degree of protection available for high-tensile steel mesh.
