Built for the Realities of Canadian Ranching
Remote Land. Expensive Skilled Labour.
No Hydro Power.
Canadian ranchers operate in some of the most demanding conditions in the world. Vast, remote land, unpredictable weather, and rising operational costs make traditional livestock management increasingly difficult. To remain productive and profitable, ranchers need systems that reduce manual labour, work off-grid, and adapt quickly to changing grazing needs.
Rising fencing material and labour costs
Difficulty tracking livestock across large pastures
Limited or no access to hydro (grid) power in remote areas
Protecting riparian zones and other environmentally sensitive grazing areas
Frequent pasture rotations that demand portable, reliable setups
You’re not alone. Most of our customers have faced the same issues, and now we have better solutions.

What Ranchers Are Saying
“Great service & Lee had what I needed for my clients to protect their raised vegetable gardens from hungry deer with a solar electric fence!”
“We decided to install a electric solar fence for our beekeeping area and we were very impressed with the results. Wild bears would create a huge problem for us protecting our hives. The solar electric fence solved this problem and now our honey yield has increased significantly. The folks at Okanagan Fence Supplies were very helpful and guided us every step of the way.”
“Lee is my “go-to” guy for electric fencing, water and solar systems. He knows his products and can get the high quality items serious producers need. I especially like Lee’s sense of innovation and ability to design systems for unique situations. Always fun to see what new items he’s got!.”
