Security signs for fences/gates.

[Bossroo]

I breed horses on my 20 Acres, which is well fenced with 6' high chainlink fence along the front. All access gates (4) are chained and padlocked. I installed electric wire offset in the inside of the chainlink with electric signs all over. I posted NO TRESPASSING SIGNS on the inside side of the fences and all gates. I had to do this for my liability insurance. The next day all of my signs were removed. The chains were cut. I again reposted,and replaced the chains... again removed, gates open and my horses runing out on the road. I even posted the signs on the power poles out front 12 feet high. Gone the next day. Come to find out that one of the neighbors delights in removing the signs and cutting the chains as he thinks that all the land around him is for his own pleasure and use anytime that he feels like it. He even had an attack trained Doberman Pincher run loose in the neighborhood that had chased one of my son's up onto our hay stack and wouldn't let him down all afternoon. We contacted the sherriff who had a heart to heart talk with him. Several months later another neighbor shot that dog while he was killing his sheep. Still, even years later, some of the signs go missing from time to time as well as the chains are cut. Thank God that none of the horses caused an accident yet.

Can you find a way to run a charge through the metal signs?

Yes I can easily do so as they are metal, however my insurance company advised against it as I may be sued by the s.o.b.

That is so uncool.

I would tell him "Oops, our fence shorted out and caused the electrified sign. Sorry. "

i find that becoming completely unglued and totally freaking out - and swearing a blue streak - keeps them all off the property
;-)

actually we make it a point not to let anyone - especially people with kids - come on the property. its just not negotiable and it doesnt matter who they are. even the neighbor kids (who are in 4H) cant just wander over. i've had people ask if they can bring their kids/grandkids/whoever and i tell them straight out "No."

having a fenced property, a gate, and 2 huge dogs help also.

if this is really a problem, you might want to have a frank talk with these folks and tell them they cant bring visitors or just wander around, ever, because its on YOU if someone gets hurt. you could probably also have a waiting area for clients and such.

i think a lot of people have a 'disney' view of farm animals....and its all fun and games until the gander chases the delivery guy. dang that guy ran fast too....

I totally agree...I had the fed ex man running like a little boy from my rooster. I told him I would meet him at the gate...for signature and he opened up the gate and came in and started to walk right up to the hens sunning in the dirt...well my rooster did not take to kindly to that and ran after him. I then reminded him why the rooster was here on the farm..which is to protect his girls!!! And there was good reason why I told him to wait. Thankfully he did'nt get kicked by my roo...

I kinda laughed...and said..what were you gonna do..pat the chickens??? Its not a dog..its a chicken!!!

Now he beeps and I come out!!! LOL Same with UPS!!! LOL..But thats fine by me....Its a working farm..not a petting zoo...it annoys me to...Some people have No respect sometimes...its hard.
