[QUOTE="lukem86, post: 113074, member: 1403"] Thanks you all for the replies, very helpful... These may have been rhetorical questions to get me thinking (and it did) but I feel obligated to justify some of my thinking.... BEZ-- I totally understand that my 6 acres of fence is a "drop in the bucket" compared to what many of the people on this site put up.... I wanted to make sure that there was no reason for me to go out and spend more money on an energizer... And figured that several of you would offer some good advice... you have. Your next question... "Finally - why you spending so much money on fencers?" It has been my personal experience with products in the Ag sector.... you get what you pay for. I would much rather pay 200 dollars once, than pay $100 dollars twice. Thats just me. The less screwing around I have to do the better... I do realize that there are exceptions to my thinking.... Energizers may be one... seeing as most of you have had good luck with energizers that cost less money. I did some reading and checking a few months ago, and Gallagher was a name that came up several times so thats what i went with. FRENCHIE- I had decided to go with fiberglass for now because it was easier for one(geotek corners auger into the ground)... And there is a good possibility that I will be moving from this farm to somewhere else within the next three or four years. And I wanted to be able to crank the corners out when the time comes and take them with me to the new place. DUN- I will take your advice and make sure to get five or six ground rods in. Is 10 ft apart sufficient? Do you put them along the fence line? Thank you all again for taking time to respond.... and if you have more advice, please let me know... Oh-- I do have a fence tester, and I'll probably stick with that for now in place of latching onto the fence with my hand.. lol Im green in the cattle business but not that green... thanks again [/quote] [/QUOTE]
