How to Set Up Mob Grazing Paddocks for the First time on your Farm or Homestead

What happens here

Connect the end of your new polybraid line to an appropriate gate handle. For a hot wire, use a conductive handle. For the cold side, a non-conductive handle is fine. Ensure all connections are secure and the fence is properly energized. If there is excess polybraid, wrap it around a step-in post to take up the slack, avoiding droopy lines that could short out the fence.

Goal: Complete the paddock setup by connecting the fence ends and ensuring tension.
