Electric Fencing for dairy cattle
Electric fencing is a very economical (and quick to install) method for
introducing strip grazing. Fields can be divided into segments which
are then rotated between grazing and resting.
Dairy cattle, being much more docile than Beef or Suckler herds, can usually be contained by 1 line of wire/polywire/tape or electric rope (the latter being the most visible), supported by tread-in posts.

Electric Fencing for beef cattle
Beef cattle and suckler herds require a more visible and substantial fence to
contain them. 2 or 3 lines of electric tape/rope or wire are necessary to contain both cows and calves.
Although wire is the best conductor, rope is very strong and most visible, creating a more visual barrier.
Strip Grazing
To create a controlled pasture management system, you will require both
a fence 'in front of' and 'behind' the herd. Depending on the area to
be covered you could either use 2 separate Electric Fence Systems or
create a continuous fence line by linking the two sides of the fence
together.
Tread-in posts are not strong enough for corners use a metal 3 pronged corner posts which can be knocked in, complete with Insulators. This can be easily moved around.
Reels
The wire/rope/tape must be kept taught. A reel system not only keeps
the fence line taught but can be used to store fence lines when not in
use (this also adds to the life of the wire/rope/tape etc.) Reel posts
are available with 1,2 or 3 reels, depending on how many lines are
required.
