The Pipe Saddle

The Pipe Saddle

The Pipe Saddle –  Simplicity. It’s a concept that’s often developed over time. In the farming, ranching and livestock business simplicity can be the difference between profits and losses. There are two different ideas that come to mind when I think of simplicity and business; time and money. In the farming business if a project takes too long or requires an excess of materials or steps to be completed it will cost more. Here at CBI we’ve developed a way for both of these simple ideas to be easily implemented into your fencing projects. Pipe Saddles are our most popular product. Today let’s remind ourselves of its simplicity in design and function.

The Pipe Saddle

The Pipe Saddle – Design

After many years of trial and error we’ve developed a perfectly streamlined and advanced design for our pipe saddles. They weigh less, fit better and are now forged instead of cast. We use high carbon steel for our forging. This makes The Pipe Saddle easily weldable. There are now many new sizes available. Through constant discussions with customers we’ve developed a wide range of sizes available for all kinds of insert and saddle measurements. Ranging from 1 5/8″ to 1 5/8″ (1515) to 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ (4141), we can cover just about any fencing project you can come up with!

The Pipe Saddle

Function

I’ve been in and around the pipe business all my life. In my experience there are many different skill levels when it comes to a cutting torch and welder. The art of cutting a precise saddle and welding it flush takes a lot of time to master. It takes a skilled craftsman to complete in a timely and cost effective manner. Not everyone is capable of hammering out torch cut saddles without major mistakes that cost time and money. The cost of materials and labor can add up quickly when efficiency matters. The Pipe Saddle is made specifically to streamline your fencing project. There’s no extra torch cutting, no weld filling, less materials being used and most importantly it takes less time. The saddle is set inside the pipe and the saddle fit to the outside of the pipe and with a quick weld  you’re done. Simplicity.

Honoring History – Farming in America

Farming in America

Farming in America – During the colonial era (1610-1775), American agriculture was mainly focused on maintaining food supply. It was mostly for the family and farmers earned their income by selling the surplus crops and animals. However, it wasn’t a focus on the national level to produce crops on a mass  scale to contribute in the colonial economy. Famous crops of that era were Barley and Peas which the colonists brought from the England. But their major production was the Indian Maize (corn). The cultivation of Maize was taught to the colonists by the famous Native American tribe Tisquantum (squanto). They used small fish called herring or shads to fertilize this crop.

The methods of farming in the colonial era were typically centered at the ethnicity of the farmers. The German Americans farming practices were way different than the British-Scot methodologies. German immigrants were more inclined to keep their farming land in the family for a longer period in comparison to the Britons and Scots. The Scot-Irish farmers earned their living by growing crops for human and livestock consumption, mainly for hogs. However, trends in the agricultural tools evolved rapidly throughout the 18th century e.g. hand sickles were rapidly replaced with cradle scythe, this revolution tripled the amount of work done by the hand sickles. These improved production methods contributed greatly towards the mass production and self-sustainability in the agriculture of the USA later in the 18th century.

Farming in America

With the population explosion of the 18th century in the entire Europe, industrial age was knocking the door of mankind. It was becoming a matter of sustainability to boost the production of the crops that fed the humans. Therefore, wheat became a major concern of the entire world. Aside from wheat farming, high demands of flaxseed by the Irish industry. While the corn was an evergreen in demand by the West Indies. This was the changing dynamics in the agriculture of the American continent in the early to middle 18th century colonial era. 18th century was the transition phase between subsistence agriculture to the plantation agriculture in the America.

After the colonial era, Farming in America founding fathers declared independence from the parent British Empire. This was a turning point for all the 13 colonies in every aspect, agriculture was no different. Believe it or not, but the economy of the USA was primarily agricultural in the early 19th century. Therefore, they were naturally inclined to produce crops that could bring money and wealth to the newly born country of the USA. It goes without saying that cotton became a huge plantation crop in the early 1800s. This is what was happening on the national level. However, for the individual farmer, the main focus was still providing food for the family. With the westward expansion of the USA and the introduction of canal system and steam boats, the transportation drastically improved for the agriculture.

The eastern coast of New England was more focused on farming in america for supplying food for the rapidly growing industrial settlement all across the northern USA. Tobacco and cranberries emerged as specialty crops of the region. With the westward expansion, abundant farming land came into the hands of the American pioneers after the victory in the revolutionary war in 1781, to 1830. Freshly cleared agricultural land from 50 to 100 acres was put for sale by the government for the farmers. Fruit farming became popular across the USA since then.

This was the early American agriculture that led to a great sustainable agricultural practices and self-sufficiency of the entire country.
With such a great farming history of over 400 years in a row and continuous improvement through decades, we are able to sustain American population of over 320m in 2020. If it wasn’t for the efforts made by the early American farmers, we would not be able to sustain our industrial and population boom with food. CBI pipe & supply is honored to be a part of such a great historical improvement throughout the American existence. Words cannot describe our efforts to produce the best possible equipment in farm fencing supplies. Allow us to be your partner in your farm fencing and we promise you to be a great help in the continuously improving agriculture in the USA through the course of time.

Product Spotlight – Turnbuckles

Turnbuckles

Product Spotlight – Turnbuckles –  Today we’d like to highlight a popular item sold at our CBI Wire Rope shop in Moore, OK. Carlous sells these in-house and ships them out constantly.

Here we’ll review a few tidbits about CBI Pipe turnbuckles and some of the different types available.

Turnbuckles

How Turnbuckles Work

Turnbuckles, or a stretching screw, are design to create tension on rope, steel cable or other various wire tensioning applications. They usually consist of either an eye bolt or hook bolt screwed into the ends of the frame. When they do this one of the bolts is a right hand thread and the other a left hand thread. This allows for the bolts to be tightened without loosening the tension. Tightness can be adjusted by turning the metal frame that houses the bolts. It’s an ingenious idea that has made securing fence a much easier job!

Market Focus: Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable Agriculture

Market Focus – Sustainable Agriculture –  The problem we often see when using terms like “sustainable agriculture” is the limited understanding of what exactly this economic principle entails. Yes, that’s right. I said economic principle. According to Myriah Johnson, the Senior Director of Sustainability Research with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association,   “The three pillars of sustainability are economic, environmental and social, and there are ways that cattle ranchers can impact each of these on a local level,”. Today I’d like to review a few thoughts on the economic element of Ms. Johnson’s quote.

Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable Agriculture and Profitability

The clear number one goal of sustainable farming on the National Institute of Food and Agriculture website, a division of the US Department of Agriculture, is increase profitable farm income. It’s no secret that making money leads to sustainable practices. The problem is that not everyone knows exactly how to shave off enough dollars on the expense budget for it to matter.

CBI Pipe and Fence Panels

Fence Panel

Fence Panels –  The best part of having a local pipe dealer is the ability to pick up what you need when you need it. Knowing that your go-to place for steel essentials is also a manufacturer makes things way easier. There is no middle man. No one is charged extra shipping to move materials. No extra costs are added that the typical fence panel distributors pass along to customers. Quality is incomparable as each individual piece is inspected by professionals. You can trust that every time you stop by you’ll get the best of what’s out there. That’s not including the people you’ll interact with at our locations. The folks here at CBI are the best and kindest people you’ll ever talk to. Here will talk about how all of these variables combined makes for a perfect place to buy high quality continuous fencing.

Fence Panel

In House Manufacturing

It’s no secret that many fence panel dealers have major shipping costs added to their pricing. Not everyone can buy massive amounts of inventory dedicated to such particular items. Some have to buy their materials and pipe at higher prices because of the limited ability to buy wholesale. Which in the end adds to the selling price offered to customers. At CBI we are a wholesale as well as end user distributor of all items pipe fencing and livestock containment. Throw in the manufacturing we do in house, the ability to drive down our costs by purchasing wholesale and minimizing shipping costs and you’ve got yourself direct pricing at a high quality.

Fence Panel

Wholesale Advantage for Fence Panels

As the popularity of prefabricated pipe fencing has increased, so have the number of distributors. In certain situations that can be a disadvantage to the consumer. Most especially in steel pipe related industries. Unfortunately, not everyone out there has decades of experience buying large quantities to facilitate wholesale distribution like we do. Luckily for us, CBI Pipe has been around for a long time. We have great relationships with a long list of steel mills, massive trading corporations and various international entities to ensure a reliable source for our direct needs. This history of wholesale buying allows us to procure materials at prices others just can’t. In turn we pass along the savings to our customers.

Product Spotlight – Pipe Fence Posts

Fence Posts

Product Spotlight – Pipe Fence Posts –  There are many different types of fencing styles used in today’s industries. From barrier fencing to prefabricated fence panels for livestock, they can be found just about everywhere. These products can be made of many different materials including plastics, aluminum, iron and steel. The most durable and long lasting type of fence posts are manufactured with steel pipe. In this post we’ll take a gander at CBI’s pipe fence posts.

Pipe Fence Posts

Variety of Pipe Fence Posts

As is common, not every project is the same. That’s why CBI makes sure that our customers are given a wide variety of options when it comes to their fence post needs. The most common sizes are usually 2 3/8″ and 2 7/8″ pipe at 6′, 8′, and 10′ lengths. Fortunately, as a steel pipe distributor and OEM, we can custom fabricate any size of pipe and length post you desire. Many customers order 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2″ posts for corners, bull pens and buffalo farms. The bigger, heavier pipe is more sturdy and less likely to be damaged by stock bumping and hitting the fence.

Pipe Fence Posts

Luckily using our company as your supplier, you’re awarded the benefit of ordering a small or large amount of pipe fence posts.

Industry Spotlight: Agriculture

Industry Spotlight: Agriculture –  Agriculture is a fundamental part of human life. It has been this way, at least in terms of domesticated livestock, for over 10,000 years. Over time the methods used by agricultural communities have evolved. Including the change from nomadic style grazing to more contained livestock in areas with limited ranges. With these changes in methods came advancements in technology. Especially for systems to contain the animals used for farming. As the systems advanced so did the materials.

Industry Spotlight Agriculture

In the past reeds, wood and sticks were used as posts and railing. These materials easily deteriorate and constantly need to be fixed and replaced. The arrival of steel to the agriculture and livestock industry allowed for more durable and long lasting animal fencing. Now, the agriculture and steel industry rely on each other every day in America. Here we’ll go over a couple interesting statistics about the relationship between steel, steel pipe and the agriculture industry.

Industry Spotlight Agriculture

Steel and Agriculture

Whether it’s for buildings, machinery, equipment or tools; steel has been a critical part of agriculture since its introduction. In modern times it’s often used for livestock containment as well. Products like cattle guards, heavy duty gates, t posts and continuous fencing all use steel. It’s such a common item on the farm that just about everyone who’s involved with livestock or a farm has dealt with a steel distributor at some time.

Industry Spotlight Agriculture

Why Steel in Agriculture

It’s simple. Steel is extremely durable and lasts a very long time. Here at CBI we believe in doing the job the right way the first time. Using steel for our projects ensures us the comfort of knowing our structures will last the test of time. Wood often rots and needs to be replaced. Using steel products for your agriculture needs reduces overall costs by removing the necessary repairs and replacements common with other materials. Here at CBI we know how important steel is to the industry. We constantly strive to provide the best steel agriculture products at the best prices. Industry Spotlight Agriculture
