Ranch Fencing Services in Waco and Central Texas

Brazos Ridge Fence Co. builds farm and ranch fence across McLennan, Bosque, and Falls counties. Not privacy fence, not chain link, not a backyard in a subdivision. What we do is the fence that has to hold something, survive Central Texas clay and limestone, and still be standing when the place changes hands.

The ten services below cover almost every call we get. If you already know what you need, go straight to that page. If you are not sure whether your place calls for net wire, barbed wire, or pipe, the honest answer depends on what you are keeping in and what your ground is like. Start with the ranch fence cost guide, then call and we will walk the line with you.

Most people call knowing the animal but not the fence. That is the right order, because the animal decides almost everything else.

• Cattle on open pasture. Five-strand barbed wire is still the cheapest fence that does the job, at $2.50 to $5.50 per foot.
• Horses. Barbed wire and horses are a bad combination in a small trap. No-climb mesh or pipe costs more up front and saves vet bills later.
• Goats and hair sheep. Anything with a gap they can get a head through will eventually hold a stuck goat. Four-inch mesh is the answer.
• Deer and exotics. Eight feet or it does not count. See game and high fence.
• Frontage and headquarters. Pipe and a built entrance are what people see of your place from the road.
• Working cattle by yourself. A fence does not sort cattle. A corral and working pen does.

Two things on the list are not fence at all. Fence line clearing is the cedar and mesquite work that has to happen before a post goes in, and it is priced separately because it varies far more than the fence does. Fence repair is the around-the-clock call when a tree comes through the line or the cattle are already on the county road.

The same four things, whether you are fencing five acres or five hundred:

• A walked line. We measure your actual fence line, not a satellite photo. Corners, creek crossings, and rock all move the number.
• A written per-foot price. Clearing, gates, and braces are broken out as their own line items, so you can see what you are paying for and phase the job if you want to.
• Corners set to carry the load. H-braces and pipe corners in concrete. A mile of stretched wire pulls thousands of pounds, and weak corners are why cheap fences lean inside three years.
• One crew accountable for the whole perimeter. When the high fence, the pipe frontage, and the entrance are all ours, the heights match and the braces tie together.

We run a 24/7 line for storm damage and cattle-out calls, and the estimate is free whether you hire us or not.
