Electric fence
Electric fencing is a popular and effective way to fence in livestock. Here are some things you should know about using electric fencing for livestock:
Versatility: Electric fencing can be used to contain a variety of livestock, including horses, cows, sheep, and goats. It can also be used to create temporary paddocks or rotational grazing systems, making it a versatile fencing option for livestock owners.
Deterrence: The electric current running through the fence serves as a strong deterrent for livestock. Once they receive a shock from the fence, they will avoid touching it in the future. This makes electric fencing an effective way to keep livestock in and predators out.
Low maintenance: Electric fencing requires little maintenance compared to other types of fencing. It doesn’t require painting or staining, and it is not susceptible to rotting or decay like wood fencing. However, it is important to regularly check the fence for damage and to ensure that the electric current is working properly.
Cost-effective: Electric fencing is a cost-effective option for livestock fencing, especially for large areas. It requires fewer materials than traditional fencing, and it is relatively easy to install.
Training: Before introducing livestock to an electric fence, it is important to train them to respect the fence. This involves gradually introducing them to the fence and allowing them to receive a low-level shock so they can learn to avoid it.
Overall, electric fencing is a versatile, cost-effective, and low-maintenance option for livestock fencing. However, it does require proper installation and maintenance to be effective. It is important to follow manufacturer’s instructions and to regularly check the fence to ensure that it is working properly.
