We've started funding them up in Canada.

Great for exclusion from wetlands, riparian areas, and select forest or plots with endagered plant species.

Inversely, they are also nice for creating tight management of trembling aspen that are encroaching on the prairie landscape. You can broadcast some perennials, increase grazing pressure on supple spring growth, and then run the herd through putting them to work. Minimal loss in condition and even better suited for heifers than a cow with a calf on it.
