I would like to try it this summer. Are you guys doing this and what has worked for you. Gate or higher fence? What do you grow, sudan, millet etc.? I am thinking about cowpeas near watering area.

Calves learn as they grow up how to deal with fences, i.e., stick your head under and go for it. Electric fences don't seem to bother them at all. I never could figure out if they weren't getting shocked, or just didn't care. As they get bigger and stronger, they also figure out that the same method will work for gates and corral panels, too.
I'll never do it again. But, that's just me......... :dunce:
we use millet with one strand of temp electric fence and the calves go under it to work on the next block, although gate would work as wellDouglas":1sttna3r said:I would like to try it this summer.
