In 1925, Orrie Coburn developed the Coburn One-Wire Electric Fencer, America’s first mass-produced electric fence, to help ranchers control livestock herds on large tracts of land in the expanding western United States. Around the same time, he realized that America’s extensive rail system would allow him to sell top-quality Wisconsin dairy calves from his award-winning dairy herd as bovine ambassadors to help improve dairy farming throughout America. These two innovative and well-executed ideas were the beginning of The Coburn Company, Inc.
