Electric fencing for cattle and dairy cows

 Electric fencing for cattle and dairy cows is a safe, economical and long lasting alternative to non-electric and dangerous barbed wire fencing, which can damage the animals' skin or - even worse - the udder. For good grazing fencing needs special attention. Gallagher offer a full range of electric fence options for cows and cattle. Select from permanent (high tensile) or portable fence systems or an offset fence which allows electrification of existing fences.

Types of fences for cattle and cows

  •  High Tensile for cattle: Professional high tensile fence for your dairy farm for permanent cow fence. 
  •  Mobile fence for cattle:  Mobile or easily movable fence for cows, ideal for grassland management or strip grazing. 
  •  Electrifying existing fence for cattle: Easily electrify an existing mesh or wood fence with spacer insulators.

High tensile fencing for cattle

 Are you looking for a professional permanent enclosure for cattle farming? Then use High Tensile fence. A Gallagher High Tensile fence offers plenty of advantages. For a safe, permanent, dairy cattle barrier, a two-wire system will suffice. For beef cattle with calves, a three-wire system is the right solution. Gallagher recommends a distance between posts of 15 metres in each case. Combined with recommended accessories, Gallagher fence can easily last for 25 years.

 Our advice:
  •  A 10-year product warranty on all products;
  •  It will last for up to 25 years;
  •  Larger distance between posts of 15 metres, up to a maximum of 20 metres, is possible with a two-wire system;
  •  Can be stretched tightly with tensioners and tension springs (stainless steel, in accordance with Gallagher standard);
  •  Use tension springs to deal with temperature fluctuations (shrinkage and expansion);
  •  Maintenance free and extremely hard-wearing;

Mobile fence for cattle

 A mobile fence is ideal as a temporary or easily movable fence. Very suitable for dividing meadows into several parcels. The movable solution is very good to use in combination with many forms of ration grazing. By applying ration grazing, you are able to get more yield from your grassland. Gallagher offers several solutions for this, such as the ring top post and the grid spider.

Types of mobile fences for cattle


Strip grazing for cows

Stripgrazing is a form of grass management in which cows feed on growing grass and herbs. For ration grazing with dairy cattle we recommend the unique strip grazing system. This system consists of grid spiders, with which you can easily give your dairy cattle a new strip of fresh grass. The grid spiders roll over the land like a spider. The dairy cattle get a fresh strip of grass every day and the grazing of your land is optimal.

Ring Top Pole

The best-known system consists of lightweight plastic poles and plastic wire. The plastic posts are equipped with the unique Twist & Lock system. This makes it easy to attach the wire to the post and the wire remains in the holder. Perfect for mobile fencing. The fence can be erected and/or dismantled in one go.


Mobile fence for cows and sheep at the same time

 If you have several species of different withers together or next to each other in the meadow. Then the multi wire ring top pole is the best solution. It is equipped with 3 extra insulators, so that several wires can be stretched at different heights. The insulators can easily be clicked at the desired height, which means that with one post you have an immediate fence for cows and sheep, for example.
