I like seeing you helping others and I like seeing how other people do things ... and I love seeing beautiful, tame Jerseys ......

I would like to see more of what you do with your pigs like setting up and the whole process. Love your videos and always learn something new

Fence looks really good 👍 and the two heifers look fantastic 👍 👍

Greg great fence information.

My son was worried about deer and the electric fence I will have him watch this.

Precious 💕. We were given an almost white yellow lab with that name. Great dog for us.

That’s such a good tip about height of the fence. When I was in the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina, it was absolutely heartbreaking to see so many guanacos who died on fences. They sometimes couldn’t clear them. Really disturbing and it sounds like it was preventable.

Great wisdom, absolute hero Mr Judy sir haha!

Got a video that goes over building one of these fences for a complete beginner?

I'm sure you said it in one of your videos but what brand of wire do you use?

do you recommend running the wire through the pre-drilled holes in the post, or attaching the wire on the outside of the post with some flexible wire?

@gregjudyregenerativerancher

4 жыл бұрын

Check out my video tomorrow. I am building fence and using both methods. Either method works fine. Going thru the pre-drilled holes makes a sharper looking fence.

Greg, where can I find the 3/4" or 1" solid poles you drill out an use for your hi Tensile fence

So, if that is the 5.5’ post driven 1.5’(as per specification because the timeless have undrilled post back for 6” above grade for strength) the top of the post would be at 4’. Timeless top hole is drilled at 2 inch below top. That would make that line at 46” if you went with the 5’ post and drive it 1.5 the top of the post is at 42” and the line would only be at 40”. Clarifications?

It appears Susan’s fence is offset 10’ or more from the tree line, which I assume was done so that she can mow and maintain the outside of the fence. I also see fences built close to tree lines and woods, which would make it very difficult to maintain the outside of the fence. We’re getting ready to build some fence and go back and forth with how far away from the tree line and woods to build our fence. Would you be so kind to share how far off tree lines and woods you recommend building perimeter fences? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Do you electrify each line of wire or do you skip a line? I was told (not sure if it's true) that by energizing every other line that you get more voltage. Is that true and what are your thoughts if it is? Thank you sir and I love your videos!

Alternating them works good

Mr. Judy, in the video you state 200,000 psi wire is more likely to break versus 180,000 psi wire. Did you misspeak? Did you mean to say the 180,000 psi wire is more likely to break? Everything I can find says the 200,000 psi wire has a higher breaking point, is stiffer, more expensive and harder to work with. Thank you for your time.

He did not misspeak. Higher tensile strength doesn’t always mean stronger in general. 200kpsi is more brittle and less elastic than 180kpsi.

I worked on an electric fenced thorobred racehorse farm for 5 years and the fence had white posts about 4 feet high and three wires.. It worked great most of the time but taller is better when it comes to horses, especially young tall horses. Always walk a new horse around the perimeter of a pasture before turning them loose the first time. You will avoid having one run through it accidentally

Mary if your building a perimeter fence around your farm with 5 hi-tensile wires, use the five foot post, 1.75” diameter. You can space them 20 feet apart on level ground for a very secure fence. Use a steel post driver to pound them into the ground. Each post has a depth marker on it to help you drive them the right depth. Our corners we use are fiberglass but we are sold out. Use Timeless cornerposts or treated wood posts with insulators.

Interesting fencing material! I really like the idea of repurposed plastic, I bet they last a long time. Is the corner post/strainer the opposite for this material? The reason I ask is that with wood posts etc. it is the opposite and this is the first time I've seen it done like that, your corner strainer wire is pulling on the top of the corner post and therefor pulling in on the corner, the fence also pulls on the corner. You need to pull on the bottom of the corner post in order for the H bar to push the corner post outwards to keep tension on the wire. Or am I missing something here?

I’m not sure what you guys are even talking about. If you build a corner, the corner is always your anchor wire on the bottom opposite the direction you are pulling.

That type of electric fence will not electrocute a small animal. They put out a high voltage at very short intervals, with very low amperage. Who told you they would kill a deer??? That's absurd.
