[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 762148, member: 7509"] Not good to have them ignoring electric fences. Either they were never trained to it or it wasn't working/hot enough. Life is a lot easier if they respect electric fences. Even my 2100 lb bull comes up and sniffs a wire to see if it's hot before he gets too close. And once they go through they learn they CAN go through which makes the learning job tougher. I suggest you look at why they just went through an electric fence and fix the cause. jmho. Jim (In my opinion you need at least 6,000 volts (6 kv) and 3 joules stored to keep cattle in. 8 kV min and 6 joules is better. maybe purchase a fence meter to see what you have.) [/QUOTE]
