Barbed Wire was/s used to prevent anything or anyone from coming in or leaving. For example, prisons have barbed wire to stop prisoners from escaping. The reason why barbed wire was chosen is because it is 'barbed' and spiky meaning that it is painful.

Barbwire keeps cows, horses, and sheep on one side of a fence and crops on the other. Before barbwire, keeping animals and crops separate required solid wooden fences, stone walls, or hedgerows. It made it easier to keep the cows out of the corn. The cows could be kept in the pasture. Horses or mules are far better for pulling plows than oxen, but are more difficult to confine.
