[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 757686, member: 2905"] The way I e-fence train is with a steel corral pen the has a polytape wire across the back end of the corral about a foot inside the steel fence and another polytape that is perpendicular to the corral fence going about 15 ft into the corral. As the cattle are exploring the corral they will encounter one of the hot wires & zap! they are trained. Usually only one day is required with this method. I have this setup in my receiving corral so all my animals are trained upon arrival. Even the crazy ones learn quickly. I use polytape because it flutters if there is a little breeze and the calves being curious will try to smell it and get zapped. The really smart ones will never touch it if they observe another animal get zapped. By training all my animals I can use temporary lanes and wing fences to move animals around the place and they don't even have to be hot as the animals will respect that single wire due to past experience. Have even used a length of polytape held between 2 people as a moving fence. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
