Hi everyone! Hoping you can give me some opinions...
In preparation for getting Goldilocks a buddy sometime this summer, I was beginning to think about fencing options for seperation during the introduction time. We have an area just outside the stalls fenced with woven wire fencing but I'd like to put up another area away from that area to use to quarenteen. I can't put up another permanent area (with concreted posts) because it will either be close to our creek or over our septic system drainage area, so I was thinking about electric. This won't be the regular area they will in once they are introduced, but I'm thinking it might be a good thing to keep up to rotate them onto to graze and also do some individual training work.
Here's the many questions in my mind...
What electric fence systems work well? Do the solar systems work at all? Can I trust the distances they say they are good for? Do you prefer the wire or tape types?
Any other things you can think of that I should consider...please share!
Thanks - Jen
