Electric fencing conundrum

[Baymule]

Here is a link to my fence thread and it includes a link to our fence building in Lindale. In Lindale, mistakes were made, comments given and corrected as we went along. Make a fencing thread, you will get lots of help and it feels so good to go back and read where you started and see the progress you made.

Baymule’s Fence

A little background for any who might not know. My husband and bought 8 acres with a double wide in Lindale, September of 2014. We fenced it and cross fenced it. We learned a lot, did some things right and some things wrong...

A section at a time works!

I cringed at the roundup from personal experience, it can poison the animals, cause abortion, too. I use rock salt.

So dog went right under...but it was a.porton of poly wire. She is longer hair maybe the problem too? So next step change Bottom line to metal...

Sorry but single lines wire electric fencing is not designed to keep in dogs... unless you basically have it on the ground and every 3-4 inches where they HAVE to touch it with their nose... electric netting or physical woven wire fencing of some kind is what dogs need. Good luck with that...

It is every few inches. 3 strands since going over isn't.our issue. May need to put a metal collar on her or go yolk route

 

[Baymule]

What is yolk route?

 

[jambi1214]

Lol should have said yoke

And here I was thinking you had found some really oil thing to do with eggs.

My sympathies with the fence woes. It can be so frustrating but once you hit that 'magic' combination for your place it is such a feeling of accomplishment!
Keep working on it!!! You'll get it!
