Secure your herds with mobile fences by choosing the right wires and insulators

Why install a mobile fence for your pastures?

The mobile fence is an ideal solution for efficiently managing your herds. Easy to move and temporary, it adapts to the size and shape of different fields, allowing you to vary grazing modes according to your needs.

Widely used for cattle, it provides the opportunity to set up rotational grazing to optimize pasture yield. Horse breeders also find it beneficial, especially for separating animals on the same plot, such as with strip grazing techniques.

This type of fence is also perfectly suited for sheep, which generally live outdoors all year round and need to change pastures regularly. In this case, it is essential to choose a high-performance electrifier, as wool is an excellent insulator. Also, make sure to select posts that are high enough and suitable for the type of conductor used.

What equipment should you plan for your agricultural livestock fences?

For a successful installation of a durable agricultural fence, the choice of equipment is essential. Depending on your animals, your terrain, and the type of grazing, several options are available to you. Cords and ropes are lightweight, not very sensitive to wind, and non-abrasive for animals. Conversely, tapes offer excellent visibility but must be well tensioned to avoid premature wear. More economical, the wire is ideal for long distances.

Regarding structure, the posts must be suitable for your terrain: wood, metal, or plastic, with installation every 4 to 5 meters. Consider adding insulators to avoid current loss if your posts are not already insulating. Don't forget the tighteners, connecting cables, an effective grounding, and a current tester to check the proper functioning of your fence. These are all the elements that ensure the solidity, safety, and performance of your installation.

How to install your mobile fences for sheep, horses, and cattle?

Mobile fences are ideal for rotational or temporary grazing, particularly suited for sheep, horses, and cattle. They allow easy modulation of spaces according to the needs of the herd. To install them, start by selecting light but sturdy posts, easy to move depending on the terrain configuration. Then, unroll your conductor wire by securing it with insulators suitable for the type of post (round, iron, etc.).

The addition of gate handles is particularly useful for creating practical access to your enclosures. Connectors and couplings allow you to quickly connect different fence lines or adjust the configuration according to the season. Finally, to save time and ensure the durability of your fence, equip yourself with specific tools like a multifunction plier, a sledgehammer, or insulated pliers, essential for any well-thought-out mobile installation.
