Here's The Best Livestock Fencing For Your Little Farm
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2018
- I have strung up lots and lots of livestock fencing for many different kinds of animals and let me tell you it is hard work.
I have also repaired lots of fencing and that is even a bigger drag.
Well here is some fencing that is easy to put up, super sturdy and looks good. I love this stuff. Once it is up you can sleep good at night knowing all your animals are right where they should be. Animals are hard on fencing. Just by their nature they push and rub and lean and paw on fencing. When you’re watching that from your window your blood pressure goes up!
They know they are naughty but they also know you can't get them fast enough. By the time you get out there, they are standing there all innocent like “What,
did you walk all the way out here just to say hi to me?” It becomes this crazy little game they play.
Well this fencing can end all that.
They make horse, cow, hog, and goat. It is a bit more pricey but if you factor in how easy it is to install and how sturdy it is and how much time it will save on repairs and high blood pressure it is worth every penny
Another nice feature is you can plant flowering vines like Jasmine next to it and it will become a green fence. The weight of the plants won't squish it down over time like other fencing that is flimsy. So it then becomes a nice green privacy fence. It will look beautiful from both sides.
It all comes in 16 foot panels so you can get a lot of fencing up fast. It also works perfect for smaller animal pens. A 16 by 16 pen looks neat and tidy and can also be used for a garden.

I think one of the best testimonies as to how living this type of life is better for you, Becky has lost so much weight. She looks so much healthier.
I like that you don't have to stretch it to make it go in place. Thank You Becky.
But it costs 4xs as much a 16' section is $59
Becky, you absolutely amaze me. Always improving your homestead, loving your animals, admitting failures as well as showing your successes. I have learned so much from you. Please never stop teaching us!! You give me the courage to go homestead. We are joining this life in the next few months. So excited. I would love you to visit us when we are setup.
Good for you, way to go!! Have fun and enjoy the journey ☀️❤️☀️
Thanks Becky! I just love your videos 💕 Always great content and straight to the point
If I have any questions, or I'm not sure how to go about making my animals safe and happy, I just look for your video collection on UA-cam. You're a Godsend hon and your channel continues to flourish for a reason; knowledge through experience and you care. 🐓
Becky, I love watching your videos!! Good tips everytime
Inspiring! Thanks!
I've learned so much from your videos.Thanks!
Becky, no need to stress about the animals making noises. Just talk over it. We are used to it 😃👍
Thanks for sharing your video, your fencing looks great and I just which I had some of that fencing now. God bless!
It's fun to get even one piece and grow vi es and flowers in front of it. Put it in the one spot that needs a bit more shade or privacy ☀️❤️☀️
Hello, these panels can be transported in a pickup. You need two people and extra care strapping them in. Just search transporting cattle panels on you tube. I thought I might need to rent a truck but now I can borrow my brother's pickup and my brother. It is great timing, I have a very old wood panel fence that is falling down section by section. No way I can afford to replace that.I am going to try to save the front/road side sections as long as I can but the area to the back needs to keep in the animals. These feed lot panels can go up as needed and super easy.
I have seen that but don't like to bend them like that. They can tweak a bit when arched, but I would if I didn't have my trailer. ☀️❤️☀️
You have inspired me to get chickens keep it up Becky
OK very easy fencing
breathtaking!
Please give us a house tour update! :) Last we saw you were putting your flooring in.
Have you considered planting a food cover? Like elderberries or grapes?
Hi Becky! Can you do a video on why you chose not to continue having goats? Thanks!!
Good advice
Not been here for a while. You’re so slim now! 😊👌🏻
Hi Becky, this is a great video an djust what I'm looking for. But where did you buy these horse panels? I called Lowes an dthey dont have them. Also, what type of gate would be used?
I used 4x4 posts & live stock panels to build my green house. Worked beautifully. 😀
i loved the video, didn't want it to end lol :) God Bless
I agree it was going far too pleasantly to end so soon, I was really enjoying it. :D
Thanks for sharing, on the bottom of your garden fence did you have fencing with smaller holes to keep out rabbits and other small critters? If so what size works well?
Some great ideas. My daughter and I have been considering the horse panels for fencing. They can be found at Tractor Supply in many areas. And they are much easier to handle if you don't have a lot of help putting up a fence. Regarding using Night Blooming Jasmine as a living privacy fence, that's okay 'if' you don't have livestock that will eat it. You really have to know what is healthy for your animals and what is dangerous. I love NBJ, and have it planted around my bedroom windows and front porch. But my livestock fences have Honeysuckle growing there, or grape vines. I also enjoy Mulberry Bushes/Trees, Weeping Willow Trees, and Confederate Roses, or any Rose. All of these are edible for humans and/or animals. Anyway, thanks for sharing your fencing ideas. We are in that part of Florida where Hurricane Michael did major damage, not just to homes and beaches, but to forests, and farms. We had just put up new fences over a five year period and are having to rebuild. But -- we are only repairing the damaged areas with the live stock panels. For us it's cheaper and easier. Some sections require only one panel, while other sections require two or three panels. We won't have to tear down a whole line of fencing. Of course, we could just 'patch' the damaged areas with wire, but as I said, not having any help, this will be easier for us.
Hello Becky! Great idea where did you get the panels from? would love to buy them :D
Blackberries are great for fencing. The bushes can weave in a fence like this or to only keep out humans the bushes can stand alone. But with those thorns no one will get through, it's green and grows fast. (The bees love them Becky.) BTW Becky, one of the greatest testaments to your lifestyle is the changes that we see in YOU. You've lost a lot of weight and dyed your hair fun blond. You're a great example for people to live the life they want.
can't wait to see once the vines grow! Is night blooming jasmine native to your area or non-invasive?
Looks awesome!!!! Can't wait to see it fill in with Jasmine... I'm doing the same fencing with just t posts on the front of my property, I'm going to grow grapes on it and plant flowers in the front and strawberries on the backside
Sounds like a great plan. ☀️❤️☀️
Will you be adding any fruit trees and berries to the homestead?
You can put them in the back of a truck. They bend. It'll look kinda like a covered wagon.
So curious you have had the horse panel fence for a few years; are you still happy with it?
hello i have an existing fence with round posts and boards 3 n the fence and my yard is kind of hillie in spots and wondered how you would make the rigid fence panels so they are level . What i mean is cutting them to be uniform with the level areas. thankyou like the video
i have 2.5 acres and using this to keep my dogs in more as the neighbours are not liking when my dogs (super friendly dogs)come over a bit into there fenced area. thank you
Hi Becky, I’m wondering if you can do a video on how to introduce new chickens to your flock?? Please and thank you.
Becky- try to plant passionflower( passiflora) - it will cover your fence and will produce great fruit for you to enjoy and you can also harvest leaves and make your own supplements.Also I sent you an email few days ago , can you please read it.Thank you so much!
Hi I have some D.E. it's the Safer brand OMNI listed it says it's for crawling insects can I use it to deworm my hens
Please link where you got the panels?
Mam u r smart person congratulations
Becky, Have you had any issues with deer jumping the 2x4 horse panels
I love farm fencing baby goats can get out of it even if the smaller holes are at the bottom I use hard wire along with the panels that have a 2x4 opening this helps keep the undesirable critters out keeps keep my babies safe
Then use the horse panels, the holes are 2 inch by 4 inch. ☀️❤️☀️
You can load them stacked, leaving them hanging out of the pick up truck. Then fold them back on themselves one at a time while tying twine end to end, but you'll need some for help with this, (or if you're talented, by yourself). It takes a little longer but still possible with a pick up truck but do be careful.
Yes i know that its all apon her. But due to your experience what number of eggs your hen layed before going broody.
how much is each horse panel?
Wow 😲 Love your videos so much I’m a Middle Age women I wish I can have a way of living the way your living but a smaller Version I just don’t know where to get started I live here in California I was thinking about tiny living housing but I’m not sure please if you could help me I’m trying to make a decision I would so much appreciate it thank you Becky some advice goes a long ways and it looks like you’re doing a very good job doing what you’re doing 🤗
I love those fence panels, that's what I've used for my goat kidding pen and the buck pen, good and strong plus the kids can't get heads through or stuck in. Good job, love it.
where can you buy these and are they expensive
Hi, Becky! Have you heard of The Flow Hive device? It's a bee house that's more humane and simple than centuries old methods. If not then you should do some research on it! Any thoughts?
I heard about the FLOW HIVE two days ago from one of the doctors at my hospital where I work! She wants to start keeping bees to become Ag exempt here in Texas. Now here it pops up again! I'm going to have to check this out!
Shelly Smith this is hilarious marketing
Also I love Jasmine evergreen all year even in winter and has white flowers, some yellow. I have both kinds but all parts of the plant are poisonous you probably already knew this but wanted to post it for others that don't just in case. I have never had issues with my dogs or chickens eating Jasmine they seem to know not to mess with it.
Confederate jasmine is not toxic, but may irritate skin. It doesn’t bloom through the year like night blooming jasmine, so the fragrance is seasonal.
OH! I DIDN'T know that! Thanks for sharing!
hi i love your house mule
Thanks, me too. He is my fav. ☀️❤️😀
Mam Wat is using camera it's good pls reply
I use tree thick tree branches as posts. Doesn't cost anything.
Can u still eat the fresh eggs while u deworm your hens with the D.E
good morning
your really pretty and helpful
who sells those panels
what kind of chickens do you have I have bantons
Hi Becky. I live in the mountains of Tennessee and my neighbor had his pet donkey killed and dragged over a pretty high fence by a black bear! Now I am afraid to put my two small dogs outside! Can you please tell me were you bought the horse panels so I can buy some to fence in a better lot for my dogs? Thank you so much! Jacqueline
You might want to consider a electric fence to keep the bears out.
Larry342516 Thanks for your advice Larry!
That is sad but the bears don't know what a "pet" is. They just see food. I think a bear can climb over any fence. Electric fence is your best bet. You run the hot wire on the outside of the fence you have now. That should do the trick. ☀️❤️☀️
Are you getting any Hogs
Did you get it at a farm store, and/or Lowes? Wouldnt it be wise to put the fence posts on the opposite side so that if anything were to push against it from the inside it would not give? Are the posts 2 foot in the ground, and how far down did you bury the fence, to keep critters out?
Don't forget, I'm keeping my animals in and they are all happy, healthy and strong. My farm dogs keep everything out. I also want privacy. ☀️❤️☀️
yes I realize that, but if they were to push against the fence with the post being on the inside of it and the fencing material on the outside, it could possibly get loose is my point , but if on the inside of the post as would be the farm animals, theyd be additionally pushing against the posts themselves, less likely to pull it off the fence, is how I see it. :) tc love your vids.
Nothing pushes on that fence. The horses will never be out there at night and they are the "pushers"☀️❤️☀️
awe, ok, well take care, love the vids so very much, Ive learned so much from you. :)
Becky ty for info I already used your idea for chicken fencing when I first got my chickens I have now upgraded a little Question have u decided not to have a hog for meat anymore? I was thinking about doing it but I have noticed you aren't doing it anymore would like to know the pros and cons of raising hogs for meat. ty for info.
I just finished the meat in the freezer when I got Lincoln and have been using the hog pen for him. I plan on building another hog pen by the orchard this summer and getting a hog. ☀️❤️☀️
Hope you post how u build the new hog fence! I need ideas. I have an issue with privacy between me and my neighbor his backyard faces my front (he's on corner lot) and although we both like each other its nice to have that screened so I don't feel like I am intruding when he is out there with his friends. So I am going to use the horse pin panels, painting them green so they blend and don't catch your eye and then I'm planting Jasmine on mine as well. It's a great idea! ty
My prynese is very destructive. Here's panels att aced with 14 gauge wire has worked best.
Would like to see it when it's green
HELP.. answer this:-Number of maximum egg a hen lays before going broody?
As many as she feels like. It is up to her. Not all hens go broody. Just wait and see. You will usually see feathers in the nest around the time she starts to set.
Hi Becky! Sent you an email about gardening method. Would love to get your feedback.
Way too expensive for a perimeter fence.!!
Have you priced fencing? This is probably equivalent to chain link so very well priced for what you get. ☀️❤️☀️
Why not plant a perennial food source like grape vines?
You certainly could. ☀️❤️☀️
Becky please my 6 month chicken keeps screeching and screaming what do i do
Some chickens make a lot of noise. ☀️❤️☀️
Becky's Homestead turns out she was having a egg it was her first time
FYI your loosing weight you go girl love your videos
What do you do for money to afford this stuff?
Now where to get a trailer 😣
You can ark them and put them in the back of a pick up truck in a pinch. Think arch way with the sides of the truck holding it. ☀️❤️☀️
We will never buy a place we cannot afford to fence the perimeter immediately again. We've had issues with the local drug users taking stuff. The neighborhood preds (owned dogs allowed to roam and yotes) would get right under/over those panels I'm afraid. Our fence cost $4-4.50/linear foot built by a local guy. It's red top 4' no climb with 4-5" wooden posts pounded. It's beyond expensive, prob $10k by the time we finish, but it keeps everything out and our area is going yuppy so the resale value in 10 years should cover it (we pray).
you look stunning with tha bleachex blond hair !!!
I think she does too! But I couldn't figure out how to say so. You know so many things get misinterpreted. But she does look really good in it!
Fencing is very expensive.
You haven't posted anything on your vlogging channel in 8 months.
Becky is THICC.
please let me how to take care of weak chicki baby
Is Jasmine a binder????? Binder weeds are BAD for animals, that's why I'm asking.
Poor dog! :(
I wonder how bad your dogs life sucks. Imagine living your life in a 10x10 pin with a dirt and mud ground. I see so many animal abusers on UA-cam.
Let the dog out, dammit! Can't you see that he wants out? Don't you see him putting his paw through the fence to get your attention? Why on earth do you have a dog - especially where you live - if you have to keep him a prisoner in such a small pen, caged up?
That was just temporary. Hes out almost the whole day.
Go away TP
If you watched any of her other videos, the dogs run free all day and night. They protect the chickens from critters.
Just shut up, please.
OK, thanks for the info. Didn't know that.
