One hundred years ago, Ora “Orrie” Addison Coburn laid the foundation for what would become a multifaceted legacy by establishing The Coburn One-Wire Fence Company. Orrie’s interest in electric fences began on one of his trips through the cattle country of the southwestern United States. Cattle were notorious for pushing through even the sturdiest barbed wire, leading to constant repairs across expansive pastures. Farmers began using batteries to electrify their fences, yet the lack of safe voltage control posed a significant danger. Orrie established the Coburn One-Wire Electric Fence Company in 1925.
