[QUOTE="dun, post: 40377, member: 34"] Rsuty wire won't do the job. A lot of people use 17 1/2 gauge and it keeps the cows in ok, but the lowered visibility makes the deer run through it. The key to 99% of the problems with hotwire is the ground system. Even in a dry climate hotwire is very effective, IF you have an adequate ground system. We use 6 6' galvanized rods driven as far as they will go. Even after a couple of iles of fencing 12 1/2 gauge, we're reading over 75k volts. Some chargers can drive a charge through wet grass and moderate shorts, a a poor charger will give out with just a half mile or so of grass. dun [/QUOTE]
