[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 608026, member: 6797"] There are a tonne of good ones out there. Secret is to buy one that does more than you need. We run Gallagher, Red Snapper, Parmak and a grey one - I think it is a Fence Master. At one time or another they have all caused us a little grief - so we always keep a small one on stand by - cows can lose their training as fast as they are trained. Fact is the more you use them - just like cars - the greater chance you have of one breaking down. The standby model is a Bayguard - works good. You put in about 4 x 6-9 foot ground rods spaced about 10 feet apart and use copper to connect them - you will blow any animal off the fence in a heart beat. If they are not electric fence trained, do the following: [i]Take some light wire and hang a few aluminium pie plates off the fence. They will come and sniff to plates. Take pics if you want - you can call it farm entertainment.[/i] Find the fencer that suits your price range and be sure it will do about twice what you need - you will not be unhappy. One final thing - put in lightening protectors - your hardware store will know - and you wil be happy you did when your fence takes a hit. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
