What happens here

To energize the electric fence, the presenter uses a Solar Intellishock 60 charger. He shows how to connect the charger to the fence system. One clip from the charger (typically black) is attached to a ground source, such as a metal fence post. The other clip (typically red) is then attached to the polybraid wire, which acts as the 'hot wire'. This setup is designed to be easy to hook up and take down, making it suitable for rotational grazing. He also mentions that if the ground is dry, it can be difficult to insert step-in posts, advising to plan ahead and set posts after a rain.

Goal: The presenter demonstrates how to energize the portable electric fence using a Solar Intellishock 60 charger, attaching it to both the hot wire and a ground source (metal post).

What they say

Hide

have a metal post or you can use a ground wire and then i'll hook this up to the hot wire that's it that's simple easy portable and nice here is the step in post is the strain right pigtail step in post what i do is i just make a loop just like that and i put it over top of the step in post very very simple this one is going to be energized and the one over next to the forest is not going to be energized and i haven't even put that in yet we're going to run down with that and then we're going to release the cows and bring them up here the reason i'm doing this one energized and the one toward the forest non-energized is because they're more likely to run out in the field than they are in the forest and they respect this wire so they already know if they're trained to the hot wire they know to avoid it they'll keep a wide berth they'll keep at least that far away from it most of the time about that far away
