cattle fence

Keeps cows contained

A cattle fence is a barrier designed to contain livestock, typically made of wire, wood, or metal posts.

The most common types include barbed wire fences and electric fences, which discourage animals from pushing through.

We spent the weekend repairing the cattle fence along the north pasture.
