The Workhorse of Livestock Fencing

If you run animals, you need fence that works every day of the year. Woven-wire field fence is the standard for a reason: it contains stock of all sizes, resists herd pressure, and keeps predators and stray animals out — all at a cost that makes sense across long distances.

What Makes a Field Fence Actually Work

Anyone can buy a roll of wire. The fence is in the installation:

  • Posts pounded straight and level. Our post work is the foundation of every fence we build — consistent depth, true lines, no wandering.
  • Corners and braces built to hold. Wire tension lives or dies at the corners. We build brace assemblies that keep the fence tight for the long haul.
  • Proper stretch. Woven wire stretched to spec — tight enough to turn stock, not so tight it fails in cold snaps.
  • The right wire for the job. Knot style, gauge, and mesh spacing matched to your animals: cattle, sheep, goats, or mixed operations.

Options and Add-Ons

  • Barbed top wires for added cattle pressure control
  • Smooth wire where horses share the fence line
  • Wildlife-friendly configurations for antelope and deer crossings
  • Gates sized for equipment — from man-gates to full swing gates for combines
  • Cattle guards where the fence crosses a road

Free Measurements, Honest Recommendations

Every ranch layout is different. We’ll walk your lines, measure, and give you a real number — and if field fence isn’t the right tool for part of the run (rocky ridge, river crossing), we’ll tell you what is, whether that’s jackleg or pipe fence. We serve ranches from Bozeman to Livingston, Ennis to White Sulphur Springs.

Field Fencing — Questions We Hear a Lot

What animals is field fence right for?

Field fence is the workhorse for cattle, sheep, goats, and general livestock containment. Knot style, wire gauge, and mesh spacing get matched to your animals — smaller mesh low for lambs and predators, taller runs for jumpers.

How important is post installation for field fence?

It's everything. Woven wire only works when it's stretched tight between solid, well-braced posts. Our post pounding is level and dead straight — customers mention it in reviews — and our corner and brace assemblies are built to hold tension for decades.

Can field fence handle Montana winters?

Yes, when built right. Galvanized wire handles the weather; the engineering challenge is snow load and frost, which we address with post depth, bracing, and proper tension.
