If you have a dairy farm where you tend to cattle and other beautiful animals, it is your duty to protect them and give them a home where they are safe from the extremes of weather. While most animals are intelligent to know the area where they stay for long hours, cattle can go astray in search of grass to munch upon.

To prevent your animals from straying into unknown territories, it is important to have reliable cattle panels on your farm. To choose the right fence or panels for farm animals, 2 key factors to be considered are listed below:

Height of the panels – Choose the height of the panels according to the height of the animals that you keep at the farm. See that the animals cannot jump over the panel.

Spacing between the panels – The gap between the fences or panels is an aspect to be looked upon at the time of installation of structure. If it is too large there are chances that animals move through them to get out but if the space is very small and a bull or calf tries to escape, they can hurt themselves. The gap therefore should be of a size that does not encourage the animal to attempt moving through it but if at all they do, there should be no chances of injury and you should have the ability to rescue them.

In Australia and New Zealand, fences and panels are available through many suppliers. Some of them offer kit that can be installed on DIY basis. Others that have a more complex mechanism are installed by the professionals who are sent by the supplier. The range of sizes and styles is growing everyday and this why a good understanding of your needs is essential before you put in the dollars to buy the product.

Fences and panels not only have the ability to secure a piece of land in a boundary but they can also add to the aesthetic look of the property. Panels made of sturdy materials can last up to 10 years after installation. Quality of material must therefore be taken care of.

Metal based panels should not begin to rust due to impact of rain and moisture. Do not hesitate to ask the supplier about the metals that were used to create the panel. Also check upon the kind of maintenance that the panels will need once they have been erected at the farm.

Taking care of farm animals is a task of responsibility. You expect the best yield of milk from your cows and finest of wool from your sheep. And you must have the conscience to repay them for the selfless service they offer you. Keep the animals protected from any harm that may be caused by change of climatic conditions and also give them a healthy diet.

Investment in premium quality panels for cattle will eventually bring you returns that you expect from your crop cultivation and dairy business. When in doubt, do consult professionals.
