Deploying Polybraid Electric Fence
At 14:35 in
SHE WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL SHE'S A MUDDY FARM GIRL!
What happens here
The farmer and Mrs. Stoney Ridge Farmer begin deploying the polybraid electric fence. Josh explains they are using "IntelliBraid Twine 3.0", a durable and highly visible electric fence tape. Mrs. Stoney Ridge Farmer holds the spool of polybraid on a wooden handle while Josh walks along the fence line, unspooling it and placing it onto white step-in fence posts. He notes that the fence will be connected to an existing polybraid line and powered by an "IntellaShock 120" solar-powered fence controller, which requires no external power and can energize up to five miles of single-strand fence. They discuss the importance of proper tension and avoiding contact with the ground for effective shocking.
Goal: Set up a new section of polybraid electric fence for cattle paddocks
