Barbed wire changed agriculture because, back before barbed wire was invented animals or livestock could wander freely. So, when the farmers decided that they needed to stop that from happening the put up barbed wire fences. The barbed wire fences had sharp " barbs " on the end of them so when the animals would walk up to it and touch it, it would poke them and they usually wouldn't go there again.
Good question!
it affected the barbed wire because the cattle drive was having lots of problems with the barbed wires
Barbed wire was invented by Joseph Glidden in 1873. His design consisted of twisted wire with barbs attached at regular intervals, revolutionizing fencing technology and quickly becoming popular for agricultural and security purposes.
The original purpose for the invention of barbed wire was to serve as a cheap and effective method of fencing for livestock to prevent overgrazing and disputes over land boundaries, especially in the American West during the late 19th century. It was also used to protect crops from being damaged by animals.
A fence is a fence no matter what it's holding inside, there's no specific or special name that is used for a fence that keeps cattle in. It can be made of barbed wire, wooden boards, iron paneling, high-tensile wire, electric wire, or page wire.
Actually, no. Barbed wire is more for cattle and not horses. Many horses get tangled up in it in a huge variety of ways and it will cut them to pieces. There are a wide variety of fencing options for horses from cheap to outrageously expensive. Electric fencing is probably the most economical. Use the electric poly tape, not the traditional wire, which is more for other livestock such as cattle, pigs, etc. The polytape is wide, colored bright white, or yellow and white, and much easier for the horses to see, so they are less likely to run into it and tear it down or hurt themselves. There are also many types of wooden rail fences and plastic and rubber coated rail fences. Most horse magazines have advertisements all throughout and especially in the back in the advertisement section that will give you lots of ideas of the types of fencing available.
Joseph Glidden's invention of the barbed wire fence changed agriculture by protecting crops. When the barbed wire fence is installed around areas with profitable crops it deters animals from getting into the air and feeding on the crops.Ê

The Kansas barbed wire museum has over 2000 different types of barbed wire on display and barbed wire collecting is a popular hobby.
Barbed wire played an essential role in the territorial expansion. It reduced the cost of enclosing land, and kept cattle contained. Barbed wire led to conflicts between farmers and ranchers when cattlemen began cutting the fences to allow cattle to pass through to find better grazing lands.
