[QUOTE="susie, post: 131799, member: 1553"] i think solar with a battery back-up would be ok- I'd get a good name like Gallagher, or another new Zealand type energizer. Not Parmak . I'd look on e-bay. Be sure and get a unit that has enough power (Joules)You can find info on line look up gallagher fencing. Would NOT do poly-tape- if the tiny wires get broken it's very difficult to find the problem I use just plain wire, not aluminum too fragile. Get a good grounding rod and clamp ( or two), and a fence tester with a meter to see how much juice is on the fence. Make sure when you first introduce your cows to the fence that they are in an area that has fencing outside the electric wire. Some cows just barrel through it then don't want to come back after they've been shocked. That's why you get a strong energizer, so they will NOT want to test that fence again. I think it'll work fine. Susie [/QUOTE]
