A few weeks ago I was in London spying out electric fencing whilst trying to find green space in such a large sprawling matropolis!

This week I have some great electric fencing photos from New Zealand... alas I haven't just been on a trip of a life time to New Zealand...!   However Billy Boy our technical guru was in New Zealand a few months ago and he took some pictures of electric fencing for us.  The Kiwi's seem to be the kings of electric fencing - its everywhere!

Have a look at the pictures

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

Walking around London today trying to find some green space... as you do... and can you believe it I spied some electric fencing!

Leslie said - "only you could find cows and electric fencing in London....."  Actually the cows had gone but the electric fencing was still there!  Nice little system using ring insulators and rope to stop the cows from leaning over the stock fence.

So the Scots went South VERY far South and met up with the English for a spot of training and manual labour..........!

We had checked and rechecked the weather and it was to be wet VERY wet so you can imagine our delight when we arrive to the sun splitting the stones :-)  and the use of sunglasses was welcomed over the use of water proofs.

Electric Fencing in Portugal

I am sure there are not many people out there whom when they are on holiday in Portugal ask their husband to pull over the car so that she can take a photo of some electric fencing??  Yep thought not... just me!!

This fencing was used to keep in beef cattle over a very large area.  The polywire was in great condidtion - the posts were not and some of the insulators were quite interesting!!  How ever the use of varying forms of insulators didn't detract from the

Energiser – the power behind electric fencing….

One of the key components to a good electric fence is an energiser, energizer or fencer.  A little planning at the outset will save you time and money, helping you choose the right energiser.  Here

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
