Summary

Prepared for Double R Cattle Co. at 4900 Co Rd 101, Taylor, TX 76574, USA, this quote covers a boundary fence around the 46.48 acres south pasture and a cross fence to divide the pasture into two paddocks. The measured boundary fence length is 4,020 ft, and the measured cross fence length is 1,384 ft. The pasture perimeter is 1.07 mi.

The fence materials allowance includes 537 line posts, 7 end and corner posts, 542 fence sections, 1,084 rails, 2 gates, and 1,088 concrete bags. Installation labor is listed for 5,405 ft, with equipment mobilization included. The fence estimate total is $89,064.00, labor and other items estimate total is $23,621.25, and the estimated total is $121,981.78.

The pasture ranges from 608 ft to 652 ft and falls toward NE. Average slope is 1.9%, with a steepest part of 6.7%. Most fence runs should allow for straightforward alignment, while the steeper ground and drainage direction should be checked during staking so post depths, line tension, and gate approaches work with the site conditions.

Observations and recommendations

  • Stake the 4,020 ft boundary fence and 1,384 ft cross fence before material delivery, marking each run, corner, end, and the proposed paddock division line.
  • Confirm the location and swing direction of the 2 gates with Double R Cattle Co. so equipment and cattle access are maintained between the two paddocks and from the road or working areas.
  • Verify the 7 end and corner post locations in the field, especially where the cross fence ties into the boundary fence and where fence lines change direction.
  • Locate utilities before post holes are drilled and adjust the marked fence line as needed to maintain safe clearance.
  • Confirm property lines in the field before setting boundary posts, particularly at corners and along any existing fence evidence.
  • Check the NE-draining portions of the pasture and the area with 6.7% slope for soft ground, runoff paths, or washout risk. Set posts and plan gate approaches to avoid drainage channels where practical.

Notes

Fence style: 2-7/8 inch pipe posts set in concrete, two pipe top rails, with 4 foot no-climb wire on each section.

End and corner posts get H-braces, which is why they are priced higher.

The road side along the north edge already has a good fence, so it is not part of this quote.

The cross fence runs east of the stock tank so both paddocks keep water access, with a 16 foot pipe gate at each end.
