Brought on by the other post about electric fences... I apologize in advance, I am new to eletric fencing. My pastures (beef cattle) are fenced in with non-electrified woven wire fence. I do not want to electrify the whole thing but would like to do rotational grazing (grass-fed beef operation). I have seen advertised fence controllers designed just for that - they will power about a mile or two of fence and run on D-batteries or a car battery. I can see stringing a single strand or a ribbon of fence across the pasture with one of these and just moving it up as the cows graze off the section. My question is: how do you ground it? I can"t see actually driving rods every time I move my temp. line, especially if you have to use more than one. Is the ground somehow incorporated into this controller? It does look like you can actually stick one of these units in the ground on a shaft provided with it. Thanks in advance for the help.
