[QUOTE="moonshiner, post: 73959, member: 1424"] I use an International 5000 fence box. Instead of wire, I use polywire. Cattle can see it a lot better and its a lot easier to move around. Just unhook it everywhere and wrap it around the bumper and take off. Or hook a spool to a cordless drill and just stand there and wind it up. I have two problems though. About every two years I have to replace the polywire because it gets dead spots in sections of the fence and they are hard to find. The second is not really a problem but a question. It is about a mile around my farm. It is fenced in pretty much a cirlce. The wire is hooked up at both ends. My theory is if a deer runs through it and breaks it somewhere in the middle, then at least it will still be hot coming from both directions. Now I'm stumped because a neighbor said thats probably why I have places in the fence that are not hot. He said the electric needs to go all one way. Which is right? [/QUOTE]
