|
-
Bulls require a higher voltage as more aggressive.
|
|
|
-
If kept separately, calves and heifers require lower wires and
less spacing.
|
|
|
-
Intelligent, learn quickly, easy to control. A fence made of
politape, wire or rope is less likely to injure if a spooked horse
tries to run through it.
|
|
|
-
Thick coats insulate from electric shocks so require higher voltage.
|
|
|
-
Spook easily and jump higher than most other animals.
Above head height, electric high tensile fence recommended.
Space wires close enough to prevent stepping through or heads
between wires.
|
|
|
-
Wool insulates from electric shocks so require higher voltage.
|
|
|
-
Some species have thick insulating coats requiring higher voltage.
Tend to test fences - space wires low to ground and high enough to
prevent being jumped.
|
|
|
-
Start wires close to ground as rooting animal and finish at nose level.
|
|
|
-
Start wires close to ground.
|
|
|
|
-
Aggressive and persistent. Deter from rooting by starting wires
close to ground.
|
|
|
-
Very thick, insulating fur requires high voltage. Can dig to reach
prey so place first wire low to the ground.
|
|
|
-
Thick, insulating fur requires high voltage. Bait fences to train
avoidance.
|
|
|
-
Move quickly and often run through fences unseen so make fence
highly visible.
|
|
|
-
Start wires close to ground as small and most species prone
to digging.

Notes:
Fences enclosing both mothers and offspring require an electrified wire at the nose-level height of each.
Please see predator voltage ranges if you want to keep both animals in and predators out. To cover all predators use a minimum voltage of 5,000.
* Voltage levels are impacted by vegetation on the fence line, length of fence and type of wire. To check voltage levels on your fence line, use a Stafix Fault Finder or Stafix Digital Voltmeter.
