Do yourself a favor and skip the medieval torture device known as barb wire and put in hi-tensile. It may cost a little more now, but the faster installation time and faster maintenance later will make up for it. Especially if you use green or white insulators, they stand out against the posts, and easy to see if one is missing.

Three strands, top and bottom hot, hold our cows and bulls in. Calves will walk through it in a dry summer but they find their way back to mamma. Center wire has a ground rod at far end from the charger.

Another benefit of tensile is that you don"t need to set braces every time you have to change course. And if you are fencing around the corner of a field, you can follow the curve in the field corner and put the little pocket of waste to use.

Our preferred solar charger is the Sta-fix. It will knock you off the 4-wheeler when the Parmak Solar-Packs (2nd choice) will barely (or won"t) buzz you. Then we have several of the Gallagher S50"s, which have 2 advantages over the Parmak"s of being 12 volt instead of 6. With a couple spade connectors and a few feet of wire you can hook it to an irrigation battery if its battery goes bad. It"s also easier to secure, as it mounts onto a T-post. But it"s not as hot a charger.

Then the Zareba SP3T is good for keeping the cattle off of well sites, pivot bases, etc. Also will hang off a T-post.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
