40+ Years of Field-Tested Innovation in British Columbia
Providing reliable, field-tested ranching solutions since 1985. We understand the unique challenges of the Canadian landscape because we work it every day.
Modern Ranching Solutions Built on Experience
At Okanagan Ranch and Fence Supplies, we don’t just sell parts, we design off-grid systems that work in the rugged Canadian terrain. For nearly four decades, our mission has been to provide Canadian ranchers and resource managers with reliable, no-nonsense solutions that offer total control over their land and livestock.
Founded in 1985 by Lee Fennell in Armstrong, BC, our organization has evolved from a local fence supplier into a specialized Canada wide ranching specialist for modern, high-intensity ranching operations. Nearly 40 years later, we’re still family-run and still turning solar-powered ideas into practical, field-tested solutions.
Why Canadian Ranchers Choose Our Expertise
Today’s technology is moving faster than ever, the real value is found in the field. We focus on making sure your system actually performs no matter how the weather turns.
We Specialize in the "Big Projects"
We aren’t a general hardware store for quick fixes. We’re specialists in big projects. Whether you’re transitioning 1,000 head to rotational grazing or searching for a solution for perimeter fencing after a wildfire, we design infrastructure built to survive Canadian winters.
Talk to Someone Who Knows BC, and Canadian Ranches
Automated checkouts often lead to the wrong gear showing up at your gate, costing you time and money. We do things differently. When you have a complex project or want to get ranch tested advice, you call Lee. You get forty years of field innovation and real livestock knowledge, not a chatbot or a call center.
Straightforward Logistics Across Canada
Rooted in Armstrong but serving Canada, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and beyond. Most orders are out the door in 2–5 business days. Our quotes are transparent and itemized, including the real shipping costs to your specific location, so there are no surprises when the truck arrives.

We stock the Razer Grazer™, Power Grazer™, Power Shepherd™, and Bison Grazer™—portable electric units engineered for maximum durability and high-joule output, perfect for rotational grazing.
Your Partner in Navigating Government Agricultural Funding
Modernizing a ranch is a major investment. We act as your advocate, helping you navigate Canadian government grants to ensure your project is as affordable as it is effective.
Many of our systems qualify for up to 85% reimbursement through programs like:
The On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF): For projects involving rotational grazing and climate resilience.
The Beneficial Management Practices (BMP) Program: Administered by the IAF to support riparian protection and water infrastructure.
We don’t just provide the equipment; we provide the funding-ready quotes and technical specs you need to satisfy application standards and get your project approved.
