[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 372940, member: 171"] I have 3-5 strand hi tensile fences around my farm and am converting a lot of old fences into high tensile. Everyone you talk to has a different idea of grounding which wires. I have read on a 5 strand ground bottom,middle and top. Others only make 1 wire hot. I use a lot of 3 strand and make all 3 hot. What is the reasoning in having a couple of ground wires. My thought is if the ground wire helps get a better ground and shock, the animal must be pushing on the fence and touch more than 1 wire anyway. if they are trained they won't go near the fence. Any thoughts [/QUOTE]
