    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

  6. Check Your Chickens

    Check Your Chickens

    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)

    Electric Fencing - The Basics.... Does my fence need to be in a circuit?

    Does my electric fencing need to create a circuit?

    This is a question we are asked a lot. For some reason it is a popular perception that electric fencing must connect back to itself.  We'd like to let you know that it is not necessary to do this… electric fences can run for miles in one direction if required.

    However there is a circuit that does need to be created with an electric fencing system and that is to do with having a good earth. When an animal touches the electric fence it conducts the

    Back Yard Pigs?

    Are you planning on keeping a couple of weaners in the back garden or on the farm?  Need to keep them safe and secure?

    Use an electric fence... See Alasdair's story and photos below:

    Alasdair says - "these pigs are Oxford Sandy and Blacks (sow) crossed with a Mangalitsa (boar) - so they should be hardy for winter but will have to be careful they don't start putting on too much fat. Seem very happy in their pen - they have some trees to scratch and rub against and provide a bit of shelter, they
