[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 245926, member: 2882"] I read in a few different places and have heard a time or two that it's sometimes a good idea to connect your 'cold' wires to your ground rods, and then connect them to the fencer as the ground.. That way, even if the animal is half a mile away from the ground rods, all it's gotta do is touch both a hot and a ground wire to complete the circuit - instead of the circuit being completed through half a mile of powder. Logic tells me that, even if they don't touch both wires, it should still work as though it were rigged normally if the soil is moist enough. Though my ground isn't particularly dry, I'm going to rig my fence this way. Reason being, there's nowhere I could drive a ground rod more than a few feet deep within a reasonable distance of where my fencer is going to be. There is, however, some fairly deep soil in a valley about a quarter mile of fence away, and it stays moist a lot of the time. I'm gonna shoot for five rods, 10' apart each, driven six feet deep..
