Electric Fencing
Electric fencing is an effective way to control livestock and
offers two advantages over other fencing.
-
One is cost. The cost to install a four-strand, barbed-wire
fence is about $5,000 per mile. The cost to install a typical single-wire,
electric fence is about $600 per mile. Additional wires are about 5 cents
per foot.
- The other advantage of electric fencing is its ease of construction,
which improves forage management opportunities. Small pastures can enhance
harvest efficiency and increase forage.
