Premiere1 has been wonderful over the years! Best equipment (robust, reliable, etc) and amazing customer service/support. Please do yourself a favor and pay the little extra to get their chargers instead of the cheap Tractor Supply special... you won't regret it.
I really appreciate this channel and this video. Many questions were answered. Thanks 👍
It is super helpful to get a better picture of Premier 1. As someone with basically no experience, it is impossible to be able to identify good companies without trusted guidance. Thank you Amy!
That was a Wonderful description of how the ground rod works and of how much ground rod to use. I know the fence will zap me hard and the sheep don’t feel it and the goats just laugh and jump over the net.
Also they have amazing sheep mineral mixes. Super easy to buy the mineral concentrate bags, mix with 50lb salt and one bag is usually a 1 to 2 year supply
