Wild pigs or hogs are a significant threat to property owners throughout Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. A recent estimate puts the population of these feral hogs at 2.6 million across the state of Texas alone.

According to the Texas Department of Parks & Wildlife:

Feral hogs compete directly with livestock as well as game and non-game wildlife species for food. However, the main damage caused to livestock and wildlife is indirect destruction of habitat and agriculture commodities. Rooting and trampling activity for food can damage agricultural crops, fields, and livestock feeding and watering facilities. Often wildlife feeders are damaged or destroyed. They also destabilize wetland areas, springs, creeks and tanks by excessive rooting and wallowing. In addition to habitat destruction and alteration, hogs can destroy forestry plantings and damage trees. While not active predators, wild hogs may prey on fawns, young lambs, and kid goats. If the opportunity arises, they may also destroy and consume eggs of ground nesting birds, such as turkeys and quail.

Texas Ranch & Game Fence has the capabilities of constructing a new hog-proof fence barrier for your property, or retrofitting an existing fence with high-tensile steel mesh specifically designed to protect your property from the problem of feral hog damage.

For the ultimate steel mesh hog-proof fence protection, we offer a profile featuring a zinc-aluminum coating that is highly resistant to flaking, cracking, splitting or separating from the steel. This Class 40 Zinc-Aluminum coating is the highest degree of protection available for high-tensile steel mesh and presents a formidable resistance to feral hogs.
