Cattle Panel Fence
Cattle panels (also called stock panels or utility panels) are pre-welded steel wire panels, typically 16 feet long and 50 inches tall, made from heavy 4-gauge wire. They're the fastest way to build strong pens, corrals, and temporary holding areas. Unlike rolled wire fencing, panels are rigid and self-supporting between posts, making them easy to install and reposition. They're a staple of every working ranch in Texas.
