Barbed wire, nicknamed “the Devil’s rope,” was the first wire technology capable of restraining cattle. Introduced across Canada in the late 19th century, it was seen as an inexpensive way for landowners to fence in large fields and maintain control over their herds. The Devil’s rope has thus far withstood the test of time, still existing in a day of technology and innovation.
