What to keep in mind when buying electric sheep netting

When buying electric fence netting for sheep there are a few aspects to keep in mind. Firstly it is important to combine your netting with the right energiser. Four factors require the energiser for extra power. Firstly, the wool of the sheep. As the wool acts as insulation between the fence and the sheep, a bigger shock is required to have an effect on the animals. Secondly a stronger energiser is required because the complete mesh needs to be powered. As every string in the mesh needs to be powered, this equates to a long total length. Thirdly, the conductivity of the netting is important. The longer the fence, the more resistance the pulse is experiencing. So make sure to select sheep netting with a low resistance when planning on a long fence. Lastly, vegetation plays a role. High vegetation touching the electrified sheep netting creates a drain. This drain could result in the pulse not being strong enough at the end of the fence.
