Smarter Fencing for Small Farms: Save Steel, Save Money

Want better pasture without blowing the budget? In this video, I show how smarter fencing choices can transform small farms—helping you grow more feed, improve biodiversity, and protect your animals without overspending on steel.

From choosing the right wire to comparing fence posts, I break down what you really need for internal fencing, and where you can cut costs without cutting quality. Whether you’re running sheep, cattle, or goats, these fencing strategies will help you get more pasture for less.

👉 If you’re chasing regenerative farming goals but worried about costs, this is for you.
👉 Watch till the end for practical insights on wire weight, post choices, and real paddock results.
