Results for tag: "Electric Fence"

Electric Fences are a type of agricultural fencing used to contain livestock and other animals. They are powered by an electric current and are designed to deliver a shock to animals that come into contact with the fence. Electric fences are used to keep animals in or out of an area, to protect crops from grazing animals, and to keep predators away from livestock. They are also used to create temporary enclosures for animals, such as during calving or lambing season. Electric fences are typically constructed from metal or plastic posts, with insulated wires or tapes strung between them. The wires or tapes are connected to an energizer, which delivers a pulse of electricity to the fence. Electric fences are becoming increasingly popular in the agricultural industry due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation. They are also a more humane alternative to traditional barbed wire fences, as they do not cause physical harm to animals. Some companies in the electric fence market include Gallagher, Zareba, Speedrite, and Patriot. Show Less Read more
