Beyond just maintenance of livestock, effective fencing plays a crucial role in the overall management of the farm. Different animals have varying needs regarding space and social interaction. For example, pigs require a sturdy and taller fence since they are known to root and burrow. In contrast, chickens may require less height but need an enclosure that keeps them safe from aerial predators. By strategically placing divisions and gates within the fencing system, farmers can effectively manage grazing patterns, reduce overgrazing, and ensure that the nutritional needs of each animal are met.
