Why Farm Fencing Matters

Farm fencing is essential for livestock control, property safety, and efficient land management. It separates pastures, protects animals from hazards, and helps farmers maintain compliance with local agricultural standards. A well-built fence:

  • Prevents livestock from escaping or mixing herds

  • Protects valuable crops from wildlife

  • Defines pasture rotation areas for better grazing control

  • Reduces injury risks to animals and handlers

  • Adds long-term value to rural property

In agricultural communities like Westby, fencing is a critical investment—not just a boundary. Choosing the right contractor ensures your fence supports your operation and stands strong through years of use.

Livestock Fencing Solutions

Cattle Fencing

Cattle require durable fencing capable of withstanding weight and rubbing pressure. We recommend high-tensile wire or woven wire systems supported by deep-set posts and reinforced corners. We install braced assemblies that hold tension properly to prevent sagging or damage.

Horse Fencing

Horses need safe, visible boundaries that prevent injury. We build board fences, coated wire, and smooth rail systems that balance security with appearance. Each design minimizes sharp edges and ensures animals remain protected while maintaining the aesthetic of your property.

Sheep and Goat Fencing

Smaller livestock demand tighter mesh spacing to prevent heads and hooves from getting caught. Our woven wire fences and no-climb designs keep sheep and goats contained while resisting pressure from active herds.

Deer Fencing

For farms and landowners facing crop or livestock intrusion, our tall, tensioned deer fencing provides an effective barrier without harming wildlife. Designed for long perimeters, this system uses heavy-duty posts and high-tensile wire to protect both livestock and vegetation.
