[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 172677, member: 2905"] IMO-If you keep your 5 wire fence hot as a pistol, it should keep your cattle in and your neighbors out. If it were me, I would get the 100 mile(6 joule) fencer. As long as the fence is clean (no weeds or grass in it) the 50 mile charger should do fine, however in the summer when there is a load from weeds & grass the extra power from the more powerful fencer will make a big difference. Also disconnecting the bottom 1 or 2 wires when they have weeds or grass on them will help maintain the power on the other wires. I have a 5 wire fence with 1 offset electric wire on my side that keeps my cows/bulls separate from my neighbors cows/bulls. It is my experience that bulls will not mess with a fence with at least 3000 volts. Keeping the voltage up is the key. JMO Regards Brock [/QUOTE]
