The sub-division of pastoral leases with fences promotes better control of the grazing animal, reduces mustering costs, and simplifies the imposition of management strategies designed to lift the productivity of pastures and stock.
However, fencing represents a considerable capital investment and a commitment to fence maintenance.
The adoption of good construction techniques gives the best result for the dollar spent and reduces maintenance requirements in following years.
This Bulletin highlights some of the more important construction aspects for barbed wire fences.

Plain Wire Fencing For Pastoral Lands, A Mcr Holm
Bulletins 4000 -
The need to fence for efficient livestock control was recognised early in the history of the pastoral industry in Western Australia. Fence design, materials and layout have all undergone many changes since the 1880s. Modern fences have 4 or 5 strands of high tensile light gauge wires with post spacings up to 50m, and strains up to 4000m. These modern fences contain less material and are faster to erect than traditional fences, yet they provide an equally good, if not superior, barrier. The happy coincidence of strength and cost effectiveness will be apparent through this manual.
