[QUOTE="branxchar&charx, post: 1772133, member: 436"] Im a bit late to this thread as well but my grandpa always says if you want them to respect the hotwire, they have to touch their noses to it. Hits em anywhere else, it really doesnt bother them. I ran into a similar situation earlier this year, hotwire was barely working it seemed. And little sweet Ms Chloe completely ignored the fence, walked right through to get to some $100 hay bales. So i penned her and the other F1s i had in this pasture back up for about a week and made a "training" hotwire fence for them, double wired, no issue after that! No pic of the setup tho. [ATTACH type="full"]22934[/ATTACH] I tried training them this way. Didnt work. Panels were only temporary as had to pull em from elsewhere. [ATTACH type="full"]22935[/ATTACH] Ms. Chloe in her enclosure. Next, shows training was successful.lol i lowered the fence to get a hay bale. [ATTACH type="full"]22936[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
