[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1901"] I've got 3 ground rods 6' apart, I keep the ground moist around the ground rods. I have to believe that the calves must be like the deer and because of their size they just walk through the fence like it's not on. I've seen the diagram about running one wire as a ground, like you're talking about Dun. Although I measured my bottom wire right now and it's between 18-22", the problem is that right now the calves go under the bottom wire. They have to work real hard to do it. So then what I should do is lower the bottom wire and hook it directly to the ground on the fencer. Then make sure that the second wire is close enough to the first that they have to crawl through it? I'd never heard of this one before. I'd heard of using the botom wire as a ground and then every 1000' or so put another ground rod in. But, I thought this method was just like my fencing setup other than adding extra ground rods.
