In Reply to: My turn on electric fence. posted by IaGary on December 31, 2006 at 12:46:26:
Your dad was right, it is the lazy way, but I have plenty of work here already. I have heard a single strand electric is not a legal fence. I use 3 strands of high tensile electric along the busy roads and 2 strands elsewhere. Its really not as expensive a many people think. You need real good corner posts, braced well. Keeping it tight is easy because of the springs and reels, always the worst part of box wire or barbed wire for me. The maintainance is keeping weeds and grass down and replacing insulators. Deer seem to be the worst problem, usually they jump clear but not always, and there go your insulators. This is for dairy cattle, never had luck keeping pigs in anything, but try to move them when its not their idea and forget it. Would like to set up a small pasture with box wire and a hot wire inside as a training area for young heifers, maybe this year. I do use poly wire or smooth electric fence wire for temporary fence. Also have some noncharged barb wire through a wooded and swampy area. Like I said in a post a few days ago I can move groups of animals with a few people holding a length of poly wire, I've even used twine on occasion.
