Cattle Fencing

Barbed Wire, Woven Wire, High-Tensile Steel Mesh & Electric Fencing

Strong, Safe, and Secure Cattle Fencing Solutions

At Fred Nuncio's Fencing, we understand the importance of having a reliable and secure fence for your cattle ranch. Your fence needs to be strong enough to contain your herd, safe for your animals, and durable enough to withstand the elements.

We offer a variety of cattle fencing options to meet your specific needs and budget. Here's a closer look at some of the most popular choices:

Barbed Wire: A traditional and affordable option, barbed wire is easy to install and effective at deterring cattle. However, it can be dangerous for both cattle and humans, and it may not be strong enough for all applications.
Woven Wire: A stronger and more durable option than barbed wire, woven wire is a good choice for most cattle fencing applications. It is also safer for cattle than barbed wire.
High-Tensile Steel Mesh: The strongest and most durable option available, high-tensile steel mesh is ideal for high-security applications or for containing particularly aggressive cattle. It is also very resistant to rust and corrosion.
Electric Fencing: An affordable and easy-to-maintain option, electric fencing is a safe and effective way to contain cattle once they have learned to respect the fence. However, it is important to install electric fencing correctly to ensure that it is safe for your animals.
Combination Fencing: Combine different types of fencing materials to create a fence that is perfect for your specific needs. For example, you might use high-tensile steel mesh along the perimeter of your property and then use woven wire for interior fences.

Barbed Wire

Barbed wire is one of the most common types of fencing used for cattle. It is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, and it is very effective at keeping cattle in. However, barbed wire can be dangerous to both people and animals, and it is important to take precautions when working with it.

Inexpensive: Barbed wire is one of the most affordable fencing options available. This makes it a great option for budget-minded ranchers.
Effective: Barbed wire is very effective at keeping cattle in. The sharp barbs deter cattle from trying to push through or climb over the fence.
Good visibility: Barbed wire provides good visibility for both cattle and people. This makes it easier to monitor cattle and to keep them safe from predators.
Durable: Barbed wire is a durable fencing material. It can withstand the harsh Texas weather and the wear and tear of cattle.
Resistant to tampering: Barbed wire is resistant to tampering. This makes it a good choice for areas where there is a risk of theft or vandalism.

Fred Nuncio fences use high-quality barbed wire. Cheap barbed wire is more likely to break or rust, which can create safety hazards for cattle and people.

Woven Wire

Woven wire is another popular type of fencing for cattle. It is stronger than barbed wire and less dangerous, and it provides better visibility for both cattle and people. Woven wire is also more expensive than barbed wire, and it can be more difficult to install.

Strength: Woven wire fencing is stronger than barbed wire. This makes it a good choice for areas where there is a risk of cattle pushing through or climbing over the fence.
Safety: Woven wire fencing is less dangerous than barbed wire. The wires are not sharp, so there is less risk of injury to cattle or people.
Visibility: Woven wire fencing provides better visibility for both cattle and people. This makes it easier to monitor cattle and to keep them safe from predators.
Durability: Woven wire fencing is durable. It can withstand the harsh Texas weather and the wear and tear of cattle.
Aesthetics: Woven wire fencing can be aesthetically pleasing. It can blend in with the natural landscape and can add value to your property.

Fred Nuncio fences use high-quality woven wire. Cheap woven wire is more likely to break or rust, which can create safety hazards for cattle and people.

High-Tensile Steel Mesh

High-tensile steel mesh is a newer type of fencing that is becoming increasingly popular for cattle. It is very strong and durable, and it provides excellent visibility. High-tensile steel mesh is also more expensive than barbed wire or woven wire, but it is a good option for those who are looking for a long-lasting and secure fencing solution.

Strength: High-tensile steel mesh is incredibly strong. It can withstand the weight of even the largest cattle, and it is resistant to tearing and punctures.
Durability: High-tensile steel mesh is also very durable. It can withstand the harsh Texas weather, including strong winds, heavy rains, and extreme temperatures.
Versatility: High-tensile steel mesh is very versatile. It can be used for a variety of applications, including perimeter fencing, pasture fencing, and hog fencing.
Safety: High-tensile steel mesh is safe for both cattle and people. The wires are not sharp, so there is no risk of injury.
Visibility: High-tensile steel mesh provides good visibility for both cattle and people. This makes it easier to monitor cattle and to keep them safe from predators.
Maintenance: High-tensile steel mesh requires very little maintenance. It is not susceptible to rust or corrosion, and it does not need to be painted or treated.

Fred Nuncio fences use high-quality high-tensile steel mesh. Cheap high-tensile steel mesh is more likely to break or rust, which can create safety hazards for cattle and people.

Electric Fencing

Electric fencing is another option for cattle. It is not as common as barbed wire or woven wire, but it can be a very effective way to keep cattle in. Electric fencing is relatively inexpensive to install, and it is easy to maintain. However, electric fencing can be dangerous to both people and animals, and it is important to follow safety precautions when using it.

Effective: Electric fencing is very effective at deterring cattle from crossing the fence. The electric shock is unpleasant for cattle, and they quickly learn to avoid the fence.
Affordable: Electric fencing is a very affordable option for cattle fencing. The initial cost of the fencing is low, and the cost of electricity to power the fence is also low.
Flexible: Electric fencing is flexible. It can be used to create a variety of fencing configurations, including perimeter fencing, pasture fencing, and water trough fencing.
Safe: Electric fencing is safe for both cattle and people. The electric shock is not harmful to cattle, and it is not strong enough to penetrate human skin.
Low maintenance: Electric fencing requires very little maintenance. You simply need to check the fence regularly for damage and make repairs as needed.

Fred Nuncio fences use high-quality electric fencing materials. Cheap electric fencing materials are more likely to break or malfunction, which can create safety hazards for cattle and people.

Combination Fencing

It is also possible to use a combination of different types of fencing for cattle. For example, you could use barbed wire on the bottom of a fence to deter cattle from digging under, and then use woven wire or high-tensile steel mesh on top to provide better visibility and strength.

Increased security: Combination fencing can offer increased security for cattle by combining the strengths of two or more different fencing materials. For example, a fence that combines barbed wire with woven wire can be more difficult for cattle to break through or climb over than a fence made of either material alone.
Improved durability: Combination fencing can also offer improved durability for cattle by combining materials with different strengths and weaknesses. For example, a fence that combines high-tensile steel mesh with electric fencing can be more resistant to damage from weather or predators than a fence made of either material alone.
Reduced costs: Combination fencing can also offer reduced costs for cattle by combining materials with different price points. For example, a fence that combines barbed wire with electric fencing can be more cost-effective than a fence made of either material alone.
Flexibility: Combination fencing can also offer flexibility for cattle by allowing you to customize the fence to meet your specific needs. For example, you can choose to combine different materials in different areas of the fence, or you can choose to use different materials for different purposes (e.g., using barbed wire for perimeter fencing and electric fencing for water trough fencing).

Fred Nuncio fences use high-quality fencing materials: When using combination fencing, it is important to use high-quality fencing materials for all of the materials used. This will help to ensure that the fence is durable and effective.
