What happens here
Luke from Farm Fence Solutions explains the specifications of the Tornado Wire being used: a 1348-12 Titan. This means it has 13 line wires, is 48 inches (4 feet) high, and has 12-inch spacing between vertical stays. He highlights the fixed knot design, which provides superior stiffness compared to hinge-joint fences, allowing for fewer line posts. This type of wire is recommended as a general livestock fence for cattle, goats (especially horned goats, as the 12-inch spacing prevents horns from getting stuck), and sheep. He also notes its economic efficiency due to 660-foot rolls requiring fewer splices and faster installation.
Goal: Learn about the features and benefits of Tornado Wire.
