Gallagher Electric Fence Systems
Last reviewed: December 2025
Electric fencing systems for livestock containment including energizers, wire, posts, and gate systems.
Gallagher is a global leader in electric fencing technology, manufacturing energizers, conductors, posts, gates, and accessories for livestock containment. The company is based in New Zealand with North American operations.
Electric fencing works by delivering a short, high-voltage pulse that creates a psychological barrier - animals learn to respect the fence after a few shocks. This allows effective containment with lighter-weight, lower-cost infrastructure than traditional fencing.
Systems range from simple temporary setups for rotational grazing to permanent perimeter fencing. Energizers come in mains-powered, battery, and solar options. Gallagher also offers fence monitoring systems for remote status checking.
