Barbed Wire
Four or five strands for cattle. Inexpensive per foot and quick to build on long runs. Not a good choice for horses, which can tangle and cut themselves.

Ranch Fence Lubbock TX - Barbed Wire, Woven & Hog Wire
Pasture fence on the South Plains has to hold stock across flat, open ground where nothing slows the wind or a running cow. We build barbed wire, woven wire, field fence and hog panel fence on steel T-posts or pipe line posts, with braced corners that keep the wire tight.

Wire Fence Types
Woven Wire and Field Fence
Fixed-knot or hinge-joint mesh that holds sheep, goats and calves. Often topped with one or two barbed strands to keep cattle from leaning over it.
Horse Fence
Smooth wire, no-climb mesh, or a pipe top rail over mesh. We avoid barbs and sharp ends where horses run.
Hog Panels and Welded Wire Panels
Rigid panels for pig pens, gardens, and smaller pastures near the house.
Corners Do the Work
A wire fence is only as tight as its end assemblies. We build H-braces or pipe corner assemblies at every corner, end and gate. Line posts are steel T-posts or pipe, spaced to the stock and the wire. Long straight runs get pull assemblies partway down so wire can be re-stretched in sections.
Rules That Apply
Inside the City
Lubbock bans barbed wire, concertina, razor wire and electrified components on residential fences unless the fence is for permitted livestock. Where livestock is permitted, chicken wire, hog wire and welded or woven wire fabric are allowed, and electric fence is allowed with warning signs posted.
Along a Highway
Texas Agriculture Code §143.102 says an owner may not knowingly let a horse, mule, donkey, cow, bull, steer, hog, sheep or goat roam at large, unattended, on the right-of-way of a highway. A tight fence along a highway frontage is your first line of defense.
Shared Fences With a Neighbor
Under Texas Agriculture Code §143.121, you can't remove a dividing fence you jointly own, or a fence attached to a neighbor's fence, without consent or following the statute. To pull your fence off a neighbor's, §143.122 requires six months' written notice. Plan ahead before a re-fence.
National Price Context
HomeGuide's 2026 barbed wire guide lists $3 to $6 per linear foot installed nationally. Woven wire, pipe line posts and heavy bracing cost more. Not our quote.
