Field Fence (Woven Wire)
Field fence, also called woven wire or stock fence, uses a grid of horizontal and vertical wires woven together in graduated spacing. It's more versatile than barbed wire because it contains smaller livestock like goats and sheep while still working for cattle. Available in various heights (39" to 60") and wire gauges, it's the go-to for mixed-use ranch properties across the Hill Country.
ADVANTAGES
- Contains cattle, goats, sheep, and hogs

- Good balance of cost and functionality
CONSIDERATIONS
- More expensive than barbed wire
- Heavier material — harder to transport on rough terrain
- Sagging over time if not properly tensioned
- Not as effective for deer exclusion
- Takes longer to install than barbed wire
MATERIALS USED
