Small acreages around Lone Grove, Dickson and the country between Ardmore and Lake Murray often keep a mix of animals: a few horses, a goat herd, a show calf, chickens. Each of those needs a different kind of barrier, and a good plan puts the right fence on each line instead of one fence everywhere.
Woven wire and field fence
Woven wire, also called field fence or net wire, uses vertical and horizontal wires locked together in a grid. Smaller openings at the bottom keep goats and lambs from pushing through. A no-climb horse fence uses tight openings so a hoof cannot get caught. Ask what height and grid the contractor recommends for your animals, and whether a strand of barbed or electric wire on top makes sense to keep cattle from leaning on it.
Woven wire needs to be stretched tight with good corner braces, the same as barbed wire, or it will bow out between posts.
Pens, alleys and working areas
Pipe or panel pens near the barn make sorting, loading and doctoring easier. Many owners want a small catch pen beside the trailer gate. Ask the contractor to sketch the layout with you so gates swing the right way and a truck and trailer can back up to the loading area.
High fence for game
Some landowners in south Oklahoma build tall game fence to hold deer or keep them out of crops and food plots. It takes taller posts, heavier bracing and careful work at low spots so animals cannot crawl under. Wildlife rules can apply to enclosing game, so check with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation before building. For cattle-only lines, see barbed wire fence.
Frequently asked questions
What fence holds goats best?
Woven wire with small openings near the ground, stretched tight, often with a hot wire on the inside. Tell the contractor goats are involved so they size it right.
Can an electric wire be added to an existing fence?
Usually, with offset brackets on the posts. Ask whether the contractor installs chargers and grounding or only the wire.
Do I need to clear brush first?
A clear strip makes building and maintaining the fence easier. Ask whether clearing is in the quote or needs to be done first.
