New Woven Wire Fence For Cattle

New Woven Wire Fence For Cattle FENCING Fence Systems 2-4-17 For years, woven wire has been sold in one universal style designed for hogs, cattle and sheep. Spacing between the wires is narrow at the bottom to hold hogs, then gets progressively wider at the top. Nothing wrong with that design if you run both hogs and cattle. But it's expensive and overbuilt if you are using it solely for cattle. "This is precisely why Armco developed Cattle-Tite," explains J.W. Campbell, senior market specialist. The horizontal line wires on Cattle-Tite fencing are uniformly spaced 6 in. apart from top to bottom. "It's approximately 30% less expensive than a comparable style conventional woven wire fence. What's more, uniform spacing provides equal stretching tension from top to bottom to give you a sturdier fence with fewer sags on any terrain," Campbell points out. "After stretching a conventional woven wire fence, vertical wires are often slanted. With Ca ttle-Tite, vertical tivires remain perpendicular to the ground." Cattle-Tite is available 42 or 48 in. high. In either size, the horizontal wires are 6 in. apart and the vertical stays 9 in. apart. The extreme top and bottom wires are 10 ga., and all other wires 11 ga. For more details, including the name of your nearest supplier, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, J. W.
