[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 382794, member: 6007"] Well, I do not have a lot of time - so I would say the following - the ground is still likely your prob. We run 5 strand HT and braided cable everywhere - in fact quite a few miles of it. Probably close to 25 and maybe more. All run from one fencer that goes through all types of brush and stuff - you do not want to touch any of the top four wires. :D Light systems for fencer detecting - in my opinion are a stop gap only - get something that gives you real information and remember that a cow needs - my opinion and in my fields - a minimum of 5-6000 volts to truly keep them on their toes. I prefer more for the winter - snow and long hair provides an insulating effect. We crimp all our wire and use an insulator called "Black Widow". All connections to grounds are completed with copper clamps. I for sure would like to know how your grounding system is set up. And finally - I completely agree with badaxemoo's closing comment.
