[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1056555, member: 18945"] Pricefarm, I've got it both ways and found out the hard way to do both. With just A hot on top, he goes thru low. Only 1 hot in the middle, he clears the top wire jumping, tearing the top wire down in the process and my fences are fairly tall most places. Now, I've moved toward doing it differently. On a 5 strand barb fence, I put one hot on top and another hot one between 3 & 4th wire. Why? When they first get "interested" with just a barb wire, they stick their head and nose over the top barbed wire, sniffin the air, but if/when they decide to go, they push thru between the lower wires, even if they are fiddlestring tight. If I just have one hot on top, he'll still try to go between the lower wires, and just a hot top hot wire doesn't touch him till he's already about 1/2 way thru. The ZAP! from a top wire just pushes him on thru, but if there's a lower one, he gets hit right away as soon as he tries and backs off. He'll sit out there and beller and paw dust for awhile, get up his courage and try again, but he doesn't a 3rd time. [/QUOTE]
