[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 564896, member: 7509"] Dun, My problem when I was trying to use electric as a perimeter fence on a couple fields was first lightning knocked out my energizer (before I put the chokes in you suggested). It is a big one but seems to draw lightning like a magnet here on the ridge top. And then a snow storm drifted over the lower wire. I was using the 2 wire to try to graze some cornstalks after they were harvested. These 2 bwf just looked for any opportunity to dart through the 2 wire. That's why I am putting in more barb this summer as a perimeter with electric dividers inside. At least if the charger or power go out they are not out on the road. Texas might be a whole different situation though. But 100 acres with calves and electric as the ONLY fence sounds like trouble to me. But I'm new and much to learn. [/QUOTE]
