A bigger charger isn't ncessarily the answer. Grounding is the most important thing. Did you ground according to the charger manufacturer's instructions? Make sure you do.
If your ground is very dry and you have a low impedance fence charger, you may not have a good enough circuit through the animals feet to the dry groundd to give the cattle/calves a shock. If that's the case, you can run two wires about 4 inches apart, the lower one being attaced to the ground rods and the upper one being the hot wire. This way the animals will touch both the ground and the hot wire and get a shock.
I use wide impedence solar chargers and, depending on the fence length and the ground condition carry abetween 5000-7100 volts on the fence.
How high are your wires? They need to be about 22 inches to hold in small calves

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
