Wire That Earns Its Keep on the Place
Field fence is the workhorse of Central Kansas agriculture — a woven-wire grid that strings tight across a pasture and keeps your stock where they belong. River Creek Fence runs miles of it every season, from quarter-section perimeters outside Haven to cross-fencing on smaller acreages near Hutchinson and Wichita. It handles mixed herds on one line: cattle leaning into it, horses grazing against it, goats and sheep that test every gap.
What makes field fence so practical is the woven mesh. The horizontal line wires and vertical stays lock together so an animal can't spread the openings and push through, and the smaller spacing toward the bottom stops calves, kids, and lambs from slipping under. Stretch it right over good posts and it shrugs off the constant pressure that snaps a single strand or sags a cheap wire job.
Owner Cody Yoder grew up around livestock and has fixed enough blown-out fences to know where corners get cut. He walks your ground before quoting — checking soil, slope, and where the gates need to land — then his crew sets braced corners, drives line posts on grade, and stretches the wire drum-tight so it stands straight for years, not seasons.
Is Field Fence the Right Call for Your Acreage?
Great for
- One woven-wire line contains a mixed herd — cattle, horses, goats, and sheep together
- Tight bottom spacing keeps calves and small stock from slipping under or through
- High-tensile woven mesh takes constant leaning and pushing without breaking down
- Costs far less per foot to fence big acreage than board, pipe, or vinyl
- Galvanized wire and low upkeep make it a true install-it-and-graze fence
Things to know
- It's a livestock and acreage fence — not a privacy or curb-appeal solution for in-town yards
- A loose stretch sags and bellies fast, so corner bracing and tension have to be right
- Open mesh won't stop digging diggers — small goats and predators may need a hot wire added
- Top wire isn't sharp, so it won't deter trespass the way barbed or game fence does
Stretched Tight for Kansas Wind, Soil, and Stock
A field fence lives or dies on its corners and its tension. Out here the wind never quits, the ground bakes hard in August and turns to gumbo after a spring rain, and freeze-thaw works a shallow post loose over a winter. We build for all of it — setting H-braces and corner assemblies deep below the frost line, driving line posts solid on grade, and stretching the woven wire drum-tight so it doesn't belly out the first time a herd leans on it.
Cody's crew runs the mesh with the close-spaced wires down low where the pressure is, ties off at braced ends so the tension holds, and hangs farm gates square in heavy posts so they swing true after a thousand passes with the truck and the loader. Done right, a field fence stands straight through years of Kansas weather and stock — and it's backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.

Field Fence Installation FAQ
A properly stretched galvanized field fence over solid braced corners typically lasts 20–30 years out here. The wire itself holds up fine to Kansas weather — what shortens a field fence's life is poor tension and weak corners, which is exactly where we don't cut corners.
Yes — that's what woven-wire field fence is built for. The locked mesh takes cattle and horses leaning into it, and the tighter spacing down low keeps goats, sheep, and calves from slipping under or through. For persistent goats or diggers we'll often suggest adding a single hot wire near the bottom.
Most installed field fence runs about $4–$8 per linear foot here, depending on wire gauge, mesh height, how many braced corners and gates the job needs, and the terrain. Fencing a big open quarter sits at the low end; lots of corners, gates, and brush clearing pushes it up. We give you a written price after a free walk of the ground.
Field fence is a woven-wire grid that physically blocks stock from pushing through, so it contains mixed herds and small animals far better than barbed wire. Barbed wire is cheaper and works for straightforward cattle perimeters, but it won't hold goats, sheep, or calves and isn't safe around horses. We build both and will tell you straight which fits your stock.
Often, yes. If your old corners and braces are still solid we can tie new woven wire into the existing run, and where the old assemblies are rotted or pulled loose we'll rebuild those first so the new stretch actually holds tension. Cody will tell you what's worth keeping and what needs replacing during the estimate.
We do. A clean line stretches straighter and lasts longer, so we clear the brush, hedge, and overgrowth in the path before we set posts. That clearing is part of the layout we walk with you, and it's figured into your estimate up front — no surprise add-ons.
