Beef farmers in Ontario know that apart from cattle, shelter and feed, one of the most important investments in your operation is the fencing. 

A well-constructed fence from Ontario’s leaders In-Line Fence not only ensures the safety and containment of your livestock but it gives you complete peace of mind. Our team – led by owner John Kardux – understands Ontario’s cattle farmers and is here to help you choose the perfect fencing solution for your herd.

Why Your Cattle Deserves the Best Fencing

If you were not aware, cattle are strong animals that can damage fences made of poor materials or those which are poorly installed. 

A proper fence keeps livestock safely contained while keeping out large predators. Additionally, high-quality fences can reduce your farm’s maintenance costs.

Types of Fencing for Dairy and Beef Cattle

Here’s a look at In-Line Fence’s most common fences for farmers with cattle:

High-Tensile Wire Fencing

High-tensile wire fencing is a popular choice for cattle farmers who want a durable option with pretty much zero maintenance. In-Line Fence can also electrify these for added security and help to dissuade livestock from leaving the property. For large pastures, high-tensile wire fencing is very economical.

Wooden Rail Fencing

Wooden rail fences are strong and highly visible, making them an excellent option for areas with high livestock traffic, such as corrals or feeding zones. While they require more upkeep and a higher initial investment, their longevity and effectiveness are worth considering.

Woven Wire Fencing

In-Line’s woven wire fences are specially designed to create a secure barrier of wood and wire. This design is particularly effective for smaller cattle pastures or certain areas with calves, as the tight mesh can prevent them from slipping through.

Combinations of the Above

You can combine wooden rail fencing with either woven wire fencing or high-tensile fencing to get an incredibly protective solution that’s efficient and secure, making them ideal for dairy or beef cattle farmers.

Things to Keep in Mind for Cattle Fencing

In-Line Fence knows cattle fences better than most. Here are some things that we think about when designing your fencing so you can focus on running your operations:

Fence Height: The recommended height for general cattle fencing is at least 48 inches to prevent cattle from jumping over. 

Strength: Our wood posts, wood boards and strong wire can withstand the strength of a full-grown cow. High-tensile wire and wooden posts are excellent for this.

Visibility: We ensure that your fence is visible to the cattle to avoid accidental collisions. Using materials like wooden rails can help with this.

Gates: We install only sturdy, easy-to-use gates for seamless access while maintaining security. Depending on your needs, we can source automatic or manual gates.
