§ 13-36.010. Livestock fences.

Every owner, keeper, custodian or harborer of livestock shall erect and/or maintain a fence as herein described to contain and confine, and also consistent with zoning requirements, all livestock kept or maintained on his or her premises. Such fence shall be sufficiently good, strong and substantial as to prevent the ingress and egress of livestock. No wire fence may be considered a good and substantial fence within the meaning of this section unless it has three tightly stretched barbed wires securely fastened to posts of reasonable strength, firmly set into the ground not more than one rod apart, one of which wires shall be at least four feet above the surface of the ground. Any kind of wire or another fence of height, strength, and capacity equal to or greater than the wire fence herein described is a good and substantial fence within the meaning of this section. Cattle guards of such width, depth, rail spacing and construction as will effectively turn livestock are also a good and substantial fence.
