Hey Terina -
Noticed in your videos that you haven't done anything with your fences yet. Thought I'd share what type of hot wire I am using.
NOTE: I'm a 50's single woman and put it in myself around my 4 acres to keep my horses away for the barbed wire on this property that was originally intended for cattle. You and/or your hubby should have no problems at all.
Horseguard fencing. It's a much better hot wire that will last a lot longer than the cheap thin white stuff or just plain wire AND since I put in my fencing 3 yrs ago, they came out with bi-polar hot wire where you don't need a ground which will work great for your part of the state and it's something you can put in now and not wait till spring.

They have a test kit you can try for $70.00 here (it was free a month ago) :

Their website is great. Customer service is great. And you can get install guides from their website in addition you get installation instructions with your order.
I ordered their electric charger but you can use any charger.
