Farm Vlog #007 Chicken Roundup, Naughty trickster goats!
What happens here
The presenter explains that the goats have stopped respecting their electric fence because the fence battery has run low, leading to a weak or non-existent shock. He clarifies that electric fences are primarily a psychological barrier designed to train animals with a brief, non-harmful pulse of electricity. He notes that animals must be 'trained' to the fence to understand this deterrent, and the current issue is a lack of effective deterrence due to the weak battery.
Goal: Understand why goats are not respecting the fence and how electric fences work.
