[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1450943, member: 27848"] Having ground at the watering hole would be best for ground contact.....wet soil conducts better. If the waterline is buried it is already "grounded" so no chance of electrical shock off it but it would serve as a ground for any electrical charge. I too have used a strand of barbed wire for the ground with steel T posts as every 10 or whatever your post spacing is, you have a ground to go with your hot wire around your "paddock". I always put pieces of plastic tape (made for the purpose) along a new fence for the reason mentioned. Never have a problem with that. I use regular electric fence expanding gates for paddock separation. Cows know where the new grass is and will line up at the gate for me to let them in. [/QUOTE]
