PROGRESSIVE CATTLE – Electric fencing changed the game for cattle producers and sustainability on pastureland. Selecting the correct type of fencing for your operational goals impacts the efficiency of your forage and protects resources on your land.
Temporary electric fencing gives cattle owners more flexibility in their management, says Amanda Courtney, owner of Live Wire Products. Different seasons and changing weather conditions are easier to handle with electric fencing because cattle can be moved quickly and easily, she says. “I can isolate and set up 5 acres [of fencing] in an hour.”

If you need to keep livestock contained, or wild animals and other intruders out of your yard, electric fencing may be a good option for you. Both humane and effective, electric fence lines can be used to enclose a pasture or garden, and are simple to install and maintain. See Step 1 for more information

Human-elephant conflict is an enormous challenge for farmers, conservationists, and political leaders to deal with. Elephants are intelligent animals that can cause significant damage to crops and property, leading to economic losses and even human fatalities. However, tools to mitigate human-elephant conflict are expensive and will always need to be maintained requiring enormous resources from a range of different stakeholders.

Once an electric fence is properly installed, it can deliver a shock to animals that come into contact with the electrically charged wire. This happens because the electric current passes through the animal and completes the circuit by reaching the earth ground. Before constructing your fence, it is important to consider your specific fencing needs and seek advice from experts to ensure the best design.

A good electric fence system requires a combination of components that all work efficiently together, including an energiser, a power source, an earth system, and a conductor.

Building a good electric fence is like anything else, you get out what you put in. If you use the proper equipment and maintain the fence the result will be a permanent structure just like the barb wire you use to use. The advantage of using ‘electric’ or ‘high tensile’ fences is on average they cost less than a barb wire fence, since less materials are required (ie posts, staples and wire) and they take less time to install. The electric fence option is also more versatile; you can take it down quickly and re-install somewhere else. This is particularly useful during times of drought when there are pasture shortages and producers are looking for additional grazing options.

Electric fencing can be installed with basic hand tools and no prior fencing experience. And by adding a solar-powered fence energizer, you’ll make installation even simpler by eliminating the need for any grid connection. Not only that, using a fence energizer allowing you to put the unit where needed without any consideration for a grid connection. You won’t have to worry about the animals if the utility grid goes down. Solar-powered fencing may provide an attractive solution when compared with trying to install a fence energizer that runs on 120-volt alternating current (AC), especially for remote or very large fencing systems that suffer from a lack of utility outlets near the fence line.

The type of fence you build for your animals will be most effective if you've first considered the nature of your animals and the size of area to be fenced. The size and location of the enclosure determine the pressure the fence will receive from animals. Also, you have to consider the labor and skill available for installation.
