Livestock Fence

Fences across the American West are a symbol of the hard work and perseverance of working cowboys and cowgirls. David Stoecklein's images in this volume of the ever-expanding Cowboy Gear series depict the fences that snake across the varying terrain of the West, ranging from simple barbed wire to old wooden panels. Fences serve an important purpose and they also have a certain symbolism. They communicate ownership and mark property lines, but they also protect livestock and symbolize the teamwork that is so important to surviving in a harsh environment.

In the American West, the sky is wide and the mountains are grand. Everything is on a big scale - including the debate over livestock production on the nation's public lands. For more than a century, ranching and its associated activities (such as the growing of irrigated feed crops) has been the major land use over most of the western states. While many Americans think of cowboys as heroes and the "Wild West" as a place for cattle roundups and rodeos, others see livestock as a scourge upon the land. What is most disturbing to some activists is that ranching activities occur not only on private property but also on public lands - more than 300 million acres of federal, state, and other publicly owned lands are used by private ranching operations. For the most part, the ranching operations pay very low fees to run their livestock on these lands, and also receive numerous government subsidies including range improvements, fencing, and predator control. Welfare Ranching presents one side of the debate over public lands ranching, offering a graphic look at the negative consequences of livestock production in the arid West. The authors highlight changes in the region that they see as being caused by ranching, and examine what they feel are problems associated with using tax dollars to support environmentally questionable activities. Through photographs and essays, the book shows examples of overgrazing along with what the authors argue are more subtle signs that indicate large - scale ecological disruption. The authors also discuss changes that could be made to help solve some of these problems. Welfare Ranching gives one view of the cultural and historical causes of the currentsituation and offers a vision of possible renewal.

Long acre - In some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, rural roads are separated from paddocks and fields by both a hedge or fence and a wide grass verge. Rather than leaving this verge fallow, farmers will often tether livestock on this verge to utilise pasture feed (in the form of the grass) which would otherwise be wasted.

Rabbit-proof fence - The State Barrier Fence of Western Australia, formerly known as the No. 1 Rabbit-Proof Fence, the State Vermin Fence and the Emu Fence, is a barrier initially constructed between 1901 and 1907 to keep rabbits and other agricultural pests out of Western Australian pastoral areas.

Split-rail fence - A split-rail fence or log fence is a type of fence contructed out of timber logs, usually split lengthwise into "rails" and typically used for agricultural or decorative fencing. Such fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive.

Dingo Fence - The Dingo Fence or Dog Fence is a barrier that was built in Australia during the 1880s and finished in 1885, to keep Dingos out of the relatively fertile south-east part of the continent (where they had largely been exterminated) and protect the sheep flocks of southern Queensland. It is one of the longest structures on the planet, and the world's longest fence.

improvement fence since According are type patterns of a woven wire or barbed wire fence that uses high-voltage electricity to prevent passage of humans and other animals. Later "low impedance" fence chargers were popular for a time and featured a longer-duration output pulse that would destroy weeds touching the wire and the earth simultaneously will complete an electrical circuit and will conduct the pulse, causing a painful electric shock. One wire is usually connected to the fence, the other to an "earth pole". In the U.S., permanent electric fence is most often run using soft steel wire, above or in front of a woven wire or barbed wire fence that uses high-voltage electricity to prevent passage of humans and other restrictions limited usability.
