electric fencing
« on: April 03, 2012, 05:29:36 pm »
we dont use electric fencing with our pigs but we were letting them into a fresh field but husband had bales of haylage in so he put electric fencing round the bales to keep the pigs away. When i went to put the pigs in for the night, here was one lonely pig standing in the electric square with the haylage looking very sorry for himself!
It was like a real David Blane moment......a mystery, none of the fencing moved etc!

When pigs first encounter electric fencing, when they get the first zap, they tend to run straight through the fencing.
