Hello all, Happy Winter months.

And as many of you will have noticed hello rugs on some horses, this means that winter is here and that not only are the nights  darker and longer ( but now getting shorter yepee) but the grass will start to become scarse, now is an ideal time to think about sectioning off your field so you can rotate the horses to prevent poaching of the ground and you can still have some grass for them to eat here is a link to our horse kits which will allow you to look at sectioning

Summer Pasture Management

This summer has been a fantastic growing year for most farmers... but how do you make the most of your fields?  This blog gives a brief insight into how one of our customers has made the most of his electric fencing and increased his production of winter fodder whilst giving his stock plenty of summer grazing.

One of our customers has sent photos in of his various set ups.  He has used 12v battery powered energisers on each of his systems.  His batteries have lasted

So last year we travelled down to see them in a very sunny Devon

This year we invited them you to East Lothian to a cold and sunless day of training,Sorry guys... It is at this point I will mention we were using Rockrose Equestrian Sports Centre's thanks guys.

So every year we have a training day or 2 on new products (some exciting things to follow) and also try to do as much as possible on our FAQ's so we are tip top on answering your questions.

We started by putting up a 50m  Premium poultry

STOP THE PRESS YOU ASKED FOR THEM AND WE DELIVERED

Hello all,

I love deer and love to watch them as long as they do not eat my veg patch, to stop this we have designed some new kits with you guys in mind and some input from returning customers.

I have had a few calls over the last month regarding keeping deer out of newly seeded gardens and off new and mature hedges. Many of you have asked about an alternative to netting due to the area you need covering, length of area and just not wanting netting.

Hello October how did you end so quickly?

In August we were contacted and asked to supply some electric fencing to keep 28 horses enclosed in the evenings on The Warhorse Ride 2014. We did so with pleasure and asked in return to see some pictures of this great ride. The horses that were to be enclosed were militry horses who were taking part in The Warhorse Ride in commemoration of all the men and horses who were invloved in the early part of the Great War.

Here is a bit fo information on the ride:

Well your fields have been in full use now for a few months and I am sure the animals have tested the fencing a few times, tried to munch it and also there has been vegetation growth.

Here are some things to check and look out for.

1. Check your power source? If mains - are all the connections still nice and tight no fraying? If battery - battery still charging? Are the energiser battery connections in place? If you are using a solar panel with a battery - is the solar panel in the correct position

Pigs.

I think people think pigs are very dirty stinky animals but that is not true (although at the moment whilst they are spreading on the fields I am not loving pigs...) Yes pigs like to wallow in the mud (much like my dog......)

While it is well accepted knowledge that pigs wallow in mud in order to regulate body temperature and keep cool, but did you know it is also for their wellbeing. So a happy pig has food and water, shelter with bedding, a wallowing hole, a place to forage and interaction

Hello folks,

We are at that time of year where the fox cubs come out to play and learn to hunt, unfortunately this means your chicken might be at risk.

Here are some tips on what to check to make sure your netting is running at full capacity:

1. Use your KV10 LED fence tester for this as not only does it let you know the fence has power but it tells you how much power.

2. So the netting is up and in place and has been for some time: (please make sure you turn the power off before you do theses checks)

So if you have already had the 1st part of our down South travels here is everything else we learnt.

To the Poultry netting on a slope......

We were given a 25m poultry net with 'HOTGATE' and let loose with the same instructions as you get and a wayward Leslie...

Firstly can I please please say to you all PLEASE read the instructions before you start because if you get in a pickle it is a 25 or 50m net pickle and not fun.

We laid out the netting as instructed as I must say so far so good we
