  Barbed Wire

  
  

  Barbed wire was the first wire technology capable of restraining cattle. Wire fences were cheaper and easier to erect than their alternatives. One such alternative was Osage orange, a thorny bush which was time-consuming to transplant and grow. The Osage orange later became a supplier of the wood used in making Barbed Wire fence posts When wire fences became widely available in the United States in the late 19th century, they made it affordable to fence much larger areas than before.
