Fences have been an essential part of farming operations for many years. A fence may serve many different roles, but for farmers they are usually an integral part of doing business. These are a few reasons why farmers need a reliable fence.
Safety
The safety of animals if obviously a big concern for many farmers. A reliable fence works to keep animals where they are safe, and where they can be fed and watered. A fence also works to keep animals away from danger, whether that may be risky terrain or roads with motor vehicle traffic. In many situations, a good fence is helpful for keeping animals safe.
While animal safety may be the highest concern, animals that are lost, injured, or killed will have a detrimental effect on a farm’s bottom line. Reliable fencing is an investment that pays for itself by limiting or reducing animal loss.
Legal Liability
Liability is a concern in every industry, and farming is no exception. While some states offer more liability protection to farmers than others, liability from a stray animal is always a concern. An animal that escapes into a road and is involved in a traffic accident may expose the owners to liability. Similarly, an animal that escapes and then causes damage to a neighbor’s property or injures someone may also expose the farmer to liability. You probably carry liability insurance to protect your farm in a situation like this, but a reliable fence may help to avoid the problem from ever occurring.
