Cattle Tuff (949-12) is stronger than the typical "Bull" wire you can buy. If you compare Cattle Tuff to King Ranch® wire, it's exactly half the cost per roll. And it will last a lifetime. The Cattle-Tuff product is specifically designed for livestock control. Cattle-Tuff is a 49" high product with a 12" vertical stay. It's typically used in a 660' roll, so you end up with one splice per 1/4 mile. Generally the material costs are exactly the same as a 5-strand barbed-wire fence. You end up with a fence that will turn livestock effectively, and it's a fence that will last a lifetime.
