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

Hello.

Did you know we have 4 different types of paddock rope, 2 different thickness, 2 different colours and 3 different conductivity levels? No?.....well read on

So rope is a great thing it has a higher breaking point than Tape and if kept correctly it will last longer so for your permanent fences its great, let me talk you through some of the gang.

Value Electro Rope - 200m by 6mm White 

Our Value electro rope is heavy duty and hard working paddock rope. Ideal rope for small/splitting paddocks

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.

Day 1

After welcomes, introductions and lunch we headed to work..

Well as you can see it was a nice view we had.

Our 1st job was to set up fencing to stop horses

We love it when a manufacturer comes up with a new product that ticks all the boxes.  The Raptor 80 really has everything you could need in an energiser (The Raptor Range consists of 4 energisers of differing capacity).  It is a new generation of smarter combination energisers created to make electric fencing easier to maintain and manage.

So what is new and so special about the Raptor 80? ...............

Raptor 80 Features

These three features make this energiser stand out from a very crowded

Happy New Year to you all!

On our way along the north coast of Scotland - where surprisingly the weather was bright and sunny unlike most of southern UK - we spotted some new fencing.

So simple - one line of high tensile wire threaded through ring insulators to help protect and maintain a new stock fence.  If this line of electric fencing is maintained properly it will greatly increase the life of the stock fence as cattle and horses will not be tempted to rub on the fence posts or push against
