This Is Getting Ridiculous!
What happens here
The farmer performs maintenance on an electric fence line to ensure it remains taut and effective. He identifies sections of the fence where the wire has sagged. Using his hands and a plastic insulator, he winds the loose electric fence wire around the insulator to take up the slack and restore tension. This process prevents cattle from leaning on or breaking through the fence.
Goal: Ensure electric fence wires are taut and functional to contain livestock.
Tools and materials
- Electric Fence Wire — The conductive wire of the fence system
- Plastic Insulator — A small plastic piece used to wind and tighten the fence wire
