Eight Or Ten Strand Smooth Wire Fence

Eight or Ten Strand high tensile smooth wire fences are best for working pens and corrals, feedlots, farm boundaries, around homesteads or wherever electric fence is not preferred because they need not be electrified to control cattle, horses, sheep, or goats.

The fourth and top wires are often insulated to control difficult livestock or to carry power to other electric fences. The second wire from the ground (and maybe the first one) can also be electrified to repel predators and to hold sheep or hogs in eight wire fences.

The eight or ten strand style does not need to be electrified but may be to control bulls and predators.
