Used to feed hogs on a feed floor with one hot wire around it. I had to learn the hard way to just turn a few out there at a time when they're new to the hot wire. The first run at it I turned 250 of them out at once. They panicked from all the squealing and went through the fence. I also learned the hard way to not use a hot wire for the gate. If I ever wanted to get them to go out the gate they wouldn't cross that line where the hot wire was. When cleaning the feed floor I'd leave the tractor in with the hogs with the loader touching the fence while I took the loaded spreader to the field. When I'd come back in from the the tractor would be sitting there untouched. Never did get tired of watching those ornery buggers find out what that wire did. Out of feeding thousands of hogs that way, the fence only killed one. It went down squeeling, got stiff and died. Must have had a bad heart. Jim
