Analyze Fence Design and Placement
At 1:15 in
Some folks have to learn fencing the hard way!
What happens here
Observe the cattle herd (approximately 32 Black Angus cattle) and the existing perimeter fence, which is a key component of rotational grazing. The fence is identified as Titan 13-48-12 woven wire, meaning it has 13 line wires, is 48 inches tall, and has 12-inch stay spacing between the vertical wires. This type of high-tensile woven wire is designed for durability and is sourced from Farm Fence Solutions and Tornado Wire. Additionally, the importance of maintaining an appropriate distance from natural features like creeks and flood plains is emphasized to prevent fence damage during high water events. A pipeline is shown running under a pathway to provide water for the cattle.
Goal: Understand the specifications of the woven wire and strategic fence placement.
