See a lot of those fences where wooden limbs/slats/sticks are woven into the lengths of wire. They appear to be hand made and in great lengths. How is all that managed? Thanks.

That type of fencing IS manufactured. It is used for building temporary ear corn cribs, and also for snow fence. Used to be a lot of it around when I was younger. Haven't seen any of it for many, many years now.

I have seen those, a more rustic homemade type is
being seen now in a few places. Basically just
limbs woven into the wire. Is it a mexican
influence?

That's correct. It is a traditional southwest Indian fence.

See it occasionally up here still, but the flimsy orange plastic version (no wire or wood slats) seems to have replaced it but that stuff is pretty temporary and ends up being torn apart and a nuisance. Like so many things, it's a cheap and short-lived version of something that actually worked.

This is a machine made snow fence. Used to be a plant up north in Wisconsin. A guy sits at a table and feeds the slats into the machine. All the wire twisting is done by the machine.Then they were run through a tank of red paint. They were pained so they could be seen in the snow. The fence was put up at a distance from the road. When the wind was slowed down by the fence the snow dropped down before it hit the road or whatever you didn't want to get buried by the white stuff. Fences were usually put up in the fall and taken down in the spring.
