I remember when you'd go to the Tractor Supply or True Value hardware store and you had one or two choices. One was a yellow metal box and the other was the trusty Red metal box. It didn't matter which one you bought, they'd both knock your D in the dirt, but the Red one tended to work better and lasted longer. I don't think either of them had any markings other than the On/Off switch and the dial that amped up/down. Heck, I bet if you go to any old timer's farm you'll find a few of the Red ones still working to this day.

Yep, that old red box. One of the pastures we put horses we were breaking into when I was 15 or so had it. The box they put it in wasn't even completely enclosed but that box still worked and kicked as hard as the horses.

Granddad had two of the red boxes. One for each field. We learned real quick not to mess with that fence. The last time I got bite I was hooking up the path crossing wire. Some way my elbow get on it trying to stretch it back to the hook. It was about 20 ft from the barn where the box was at.

He stopped working as two soldiers approached him. Things were a bit tense as they questioned him about his identity and where he lived, had he noticed anything unusual etc. Then they asked if that was his electric fence across the gap? He said it was and the two soldiers smiled and one said ...'our sergeant just caught a shock to his balls when he crossed it!' Must ask my uncle if he remembers what the joules were.

Jumper cable manufacturers do the same thing. They claim the cables are good for 500, 800, 1500 Amperes even, whereas the conductors on all of them are only 10 or 15mm^2 in cross section. Look at the wire cross section surface (or wire gauge), the claimed amperage can be just as bogus and made up as the fence wire mileage.

What is joules on electric fence? Think of joules as the horsepower needed to carry a load. The length of the fence, how old the fence is, and how the fence is constructed should determine how many joules are needed. Typical recommendation is one joule per mile of fence. Keep in mind that bigger is better, until the point that induction occurs.

You have to pay attention to both. Read your damn owners manual. That half Jewel rating is probably an average over selected distances. If it says half a joule at 5 miles it's probably closer to that rating at 3 or 4 MI. Anything shorter and you're going to have more power going through because there's less resistance. If it's a good brand it will tell you what rating at what distance and with what wire.
