In Reply to: Electric fence wire posted by Super Steve on March 22, 2013 at 09:21:22:
Through 30+ years, I have usually use 2 strands with the top one barbed and bottom smooth wire and had okay results. Bottom one is really for small calves, when I have them. Once in a while, one jumps over, but thankfully also jumped back. Best thing, to me, is teach them to like a feel bucket! You don't have to do it often, but the cows love for a feed bucket has saved my hide several times! I also agree about marking the fence. I use styrofoam eggs cartons snap closed over the wire. Seems like I saw that idea in Progressive Farmer sometime. Added bonus, if you need to cross the wire, and you hold the carton just right, you have an insullated assistant in crossing the fence. You can also see from a distance where the wire might be down!
