Sheep & Goat Fencing

Among farm animals, sheep and their relatives, goats, are some of the most avid climbers and jumpers. To confine them safely and effectively, you will need specialized fencing. Learn more about how the kinds we offer can help protect their Life Out Here at Tractor Supply.

A Dependable Safeguard from Predators (and Themselves)

The fencing we carry for sheep and goats is usually comprised of heavy-duty steel wire, which as been woven or welded into a mesh, with smooth knots and tight horizontal and vertical stay spacing. This design enables the fence to withstand sagging and buckling, and it can help prevent their wool snagging or skin scraping when the animals run into it, lean against it or try to put their heads through it. Often galvanized to help it repel rust-causing moisture, it can last many seasons, especially when choosing impact-resistant, high-tensile variants.

Most options in our inventory come in pre-stripped rolls, some with several vertical stays removed to make installation easier. We offer the following types:

Fixed-Knot

This design features a third wire that intersects its horizontal and vertical stays, creating a tight knot that resists loosening and unraveling. This makes it not only durable, even under constant pressure from curious billies or nannies, but it’s also a low-maintenance solution for busy handlers and landowners.

Hinge-Joint

With a construction made up of two vertical stay wires, which are bound around line wires in four-wrap knots, a hinge-joint fence is made to flex under pressure and spring back into shape. That enables it to bend when an especially committed ram or ewe tests it, with less likelihood of breaking.
