Don't Trust the Bull! Day of Farm Life here in North Carolina
What happens here
The farmer connects the solar electric fence energizer to the fence system. He leverages existing steel posts as the ground source, which is a convenient and effective method for temporary fencing. He then connects the hot wire from the energizer to the polywire of the temporary fence. He mentions that the original clamps for the energizer's wires degraded in the sunlight, requiring him to make a direct connection, highlighting the importance of durable components in outdoor conditions.
Goal: Energize the temporary electric fence to contain the cattle.
