Barbed-wire fences are well-known for keeping intruders out and keeping your property secure. When people see the little barbs placed on a fence, it instantly deters them from attempting to enter an area.

Barbed wire fences are most commonly used for cattle. Though cattle may not recognize the barbs on the fence at first, after being pricked a few times, they often learn to stay away from the fences.

When using barbed wire fences for cattle fencing, barbs do not need to be included on every wire strand of the fence. Having the barbed wire in the strands between the top and bottom strands is usually enough to keep the cattle in while minimizing hurting any other animals.
