THE FORCE BEHIND THE FENCE
Building a fence strong enough to restrain an amorous
bull, used to involve tons of materials, considerable cost,
and endless hours of backbreaking work. Now, Gallagher
Power Fence Systems make the job a lot easier. Less
materials. Less time. Less
effort. And a fraction of the
cost. For a fence that is
totally effective against
even the most determined
bull.
That's why thousands of farms, all over the world, are
using Gallagher Power Fence Systems. Amorous bulls
everywhere have quickly learned to respect them.
When you discover how easy and economical
Gallagher Systems are to erect, operate and maintain-
you will, too.
