Use hot warrior electric fence

Electric fencing is not intended to harm or injure an animal; rather, it is intended to provide a sufficient shock to startle the animal away and keep it away from a particular area. If possible, position the wire around 3 feet above the ground level, in a location where cows’ bodies will collide with the wire. Cows are typically deterred by voltages between 2,000 and 3,000 volts, but if your hot wire is useless, you can boost the voltage to 5,000 volts.

Remove attractions from your yards

There are a variety of reasons why cows may be entering your yard. It is critical to remove as many of the attractants as possible in order to keep them out. Cows are frequently attracted to lawn plants because they are unique and, in many cases, delicious to eat. Cows are particularly attracted to fresh grass. They will almost always taste every type of plant available. They do not, however, consume large quantities of plants that are poisonous to them on a regular basis. They tend to stay away from plants that are poisonous and native to their environment.

Natural barrier

Cows are unable to access a grass that has been elevated 90 degrees above the ground, to a height of up to 6 feet. Cows would be unable to scale such a steep incline, rendering your yard completely inaccessible to them.

Use of dogs

Herding dogs play an important role in the management of large herds of cattle and sheep. They are beneficial if your farm or ranch has a high number of cows. These dogs are born with the ability to regulate livestock movement. They have learned to channel their predatory instincts into herding behavior. Sheep instinctively follow the cues given to them by the herding dogs.

Living fence

A living fence is formed from plants or shrubs that are unique to a particular area. This style of fence takes time to construct. During that time, you’ll almost certainly need to install another fence to keep cows out of your garden when it’s in flower. With patience and perseverance, a sturdy live fence impenetrable to cows and other livestock can be created over time. The type of tree or shrub used in a live fence has a significant impact on its strength.
