What happens here
The farmer connects the electric fence controller, which is powered by a car battery, to the new electric fence line. He then uses a fence tester to verify that the entire fence section is properly energized. This step ensures that the temporary fence is fully functional and capable of containing the livestock. The farmer notes that a small, portable controller is ideal for this task.
