Quote:

Pigs & hogs are supposed to be the easiest stock to contain with hot wire. You don't need more than a single wire, < a foot off the ground. They won't try to jump it, & if they try rooting under it they get zapped in the snout. I was taught that if an animal, any animal, gets zapped in front of the eyes it'll back off. If it gets zapped behind the eyes, chances are it'll go on through.

oh, but what about when they are little? a foot off the ground is high at first no? wonder how much voltage they need.

.I'm no expert; I know only what I was told when I sold & built electric fence systems. Your local Ag Extension Agent or hog farmer, either one, would be able to give you a better answer than I ever could. I've never kept swine; don't want them anywhere near me.

Im not ready for one yet, but will keep that in mind!!

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Wait! can you keep just one lonely pig to butcher? hmmmm

She did laugh at me, and then she went in the back of the store and came back and handed me a SYRINGE pen...but I didn't know it was a pen, and I was like - "I am not taking that, what is that?!?!"

Love it!!
