Choose Your Livestock Type

Select the species that matches your farm — each hub covers fence types, wire spacing, height, and predator requirements specific to that animal.

🐄 Species-Specific Guidance

One Size Does Not Fit All Livestock

Each species has distinct containment needs — voltage sensitivity, size, escape behavior, predator pressure, and breed-specific quirks. Using the wrong fence type for your animal leads to escapes, injuries, and avoidable cost.

  • 🐄 Cattle respond to psychological barriers — electric is cost-effective and sufficient
  • 🐎 Horses need visible fencing and smooth surfaces to prevent serious laceration injuries
  • 🐐 Goats require 48–52″ fence height with tight vertical wire spacing (under 4″ for kids)
  • 🐑 Sheep need predator-deterrent mesh — wool reduces electric-fence effectiveness significantly
  • 🐷 Pigs test every fence from the bottom — buried aprons and snout-height hot wires are essential
