Drought Forcing Me to Change EVERYTHING! Here's the Plan!
What happens here
After confirming the fence and water systems, attach the electric fence line to the portable electric fence controller. Connect the negative and positive terminals of the controller to the battery to activate the fence. Ensure the fence is properly grounded via a ground rod. If necessary, pull tight any sagging sections of the electric fence to maintain its effectiveness. Temporarily disconnect any non-electrified fence sections that would impede cattle movement.
Goal: Electrify the fence and correct any line integrity issues.
