Agricultural and Animal Fences
Agricultural fences are used to keep animals in or out of an area. They can be made from a wide variety of materials, depending on terrain, location and animals to be confined. In some places, the height and construction of fences designed to hold livestock is mandated by law .Historically throughout most of the world, domesticated livestock would roam freely and were fenced out of areas, such as gardens or fields of crops, where they were unwanted. Over time, especially where crop agriculture became dominant and population density of both humans and animals was significant, livestock owners were made to fence their animals in.
The earliest agricultural fences were made of available materials, usually stone or wood, and these materials are still used for some fences today. More modern agricultural fences are made out of wire, barbed wire, electric fence, metal. & vinyl. There are also non-climb options of fence that are designed to prevent animals from climbing or getting caught or tangled in the fence.
