[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 612889, member: 4362"] You mean you can turn off an electric fence once its soldered to big copper wire in the breaker box!?! Just kidding. I guess I should have explained it a little better. I have a pasture that is roughly 1/4 mile from the box. What I've done is to run steel electiric fence wire out to this area. This steel wire is my supply line so to speak. From this I'm using poly wire to form a line across the field to limit graze them. My plan is to run this steel wire around the whole field so I can have to hot parallel lines and use poly wire hooked to this metal wire with those gate handles you can get for electric fence gaps. So as I envision this, all I'll have to do is grab the insulated handled and move it down the fence a bit. Once I do this, all I need to do is move the little plastic fence posts. Unfortunately, I got ahead of myself and I only have this setup on one side of the field and the other is still only barbed wire and I'm having to handle the polywire more than I planned and its hotter than ... well. While I can flip a breaker that controls this section to turn off the power, this isn't practical since the cows have gotten wise to this. (See Cypressfarms post. Mine are either smart or hungry for green) I'll try those disposable gloves but I was hoping for some idea of where the minimum thickness lies. I'm sure the lightbulb will go off in my head and I'll get a tingly feeling when I discover this for myself. [/QUOTE]
