It'll be a good size at 40 years. Gets really fluted as it ages, and can be a pain to fell, but I expect you know that already!
Such a useful timber.

We've got about 900 odd tonnes of the stuff to do a couple of miles away in June/July and despite some of it exceeding 3 cube a tree, minimal fluting. Wonderful trees!

Another in support of Western Red Cedar.
People are looking around more at alternative fencing products as there is so much treated rubbish out there that doesn't last to the end of the agri' schemes that are paying for them.
Chestnut is one popular alternative, but maybe wouldn't work long term on the site as you describe it due to coppice nature. WRC has a lot going for it as an external timber and the rotation could be reduced to get a selection of rounds, halves and quarters for fencing. If left to grow on, we've never had trouble finding a buyer and a good price for it when we have it.
