[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1041976, member: 5956"] We use them for internal fencing on our place. (The boundary fences are 7-wire post and batten with an electric wire or two to reduce over or through-fence contact.) You don't need as many wires, nor as many posts and if you're fencing a tricky area to keep cattle out of bush or streams, for instance, it's much cheaper and easier. Three wires works well for cattle and two wires will work fine for adult bovines. Because the bottom wire is up off the grass, the cattle will graze under the fence, so maintenance because of grass growing up should be minimal, even where the other side isn't grazed. You must have good earthing back at the energizer and yes, you do have to make sure you clear anything which falls over the fence, or you lose power. I think they're great and I wouldn't be nearly as comfortable running my bulls near the heifers without the electrics. I'll find some pictures. [/QUOTE]
