I am looking to buy a good cattle prod. I see that they come in different strenghts .How do I choose the best voltage ?

Too short and you risk getting hurt. Too long and it can be combursome and make your work even harder. We have found that the pvc pipe is enough. Tap on their backside to move them. Wave it in front of them to stop them. Long enough to keep us out of harms way. Have toyed with the idea of getting a paddle stick. Visibility would probably be better. Don't know if the pebbles inside would make enough noise to make them pay attention. Sale barns around here use them though.
