[QUOTE="novatech, post: 564910, member: 5494"] We had a bull that enjoyed scratching his back on the electric fence. I found out when I thought it must not be working and tested it by hand. :dunce: As far as Texas being different, I dont't think so. There are many areas that have very expansive soils. When they dry out the soil will shrink back from the ground rod thus loosing the ground. The solution is to either keep the ground moist or drive the rod deeper. With the drought we are having now some of the cracks in the ground are more than 20 ft. deep. Kind of hard to get a rod that deep. Using several ground rods helps along with a 5 gallon bucket of water once a week. [/QUOTE]
