Cornelius eh? I thought that countryside looked familiar. I was born and raised in the Willamette Valley myself. Anyhow I have a question. Is the netting suitable for permanent fencing? It looks to me to be too flimsy to hold up to permanent use but I thought I would ask your opinion on it anyhow. Thanks for making the video it was very informative and fun to watch.

@TheApprenticeFarmer 4 жыл бұрын

Yes you got it! It's Cornelius. This electric netting is not suitable for permanent fencing. It's only meant for sectioning off paddocks for a few days at a time to allow targeted grazing before you move to another paddock.

@@TheApprenticeFarmer thanks for the prompt reply. Yeah it looks like that's not going to work for what I had in mind. I've got permanent fencing I need for my goats.

@laurab9247 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing. But I got concerned when you allowed your animals to touch the netting, so they thought that it’s okay to touch. I bet the poor animals were needlessly shocked several times before re-learning that the fence is NOT OKAY to touch after all. What happened when you electrified the fence?

@andreafalconiero9089 4 жыл бұрын

The only way animals learn not to touch electric fence is by touching it -- explaining to them doesn't work. These animals (at least the baby lambs and chickens) were clearly not familiar with this type of fence before they were put into the enclosure, otherwise they would have already learned not to touch it, whether it was energized or not. It's also necessary to de-energize the fence when moving animals into or out of one of these enclosures, for reasons which should be obvious.

@timothyevans4323 3 ай бұрын

That’s the point. It’s how they learn.
