FINISHED electric fence..

Finally have a portion of the electric fence finished.Whew!! About 3 acres of nice browse and pasture. We used 5 wire high tensile with the "Paramak" charger that everyone recommended. It is kind of a small area for such a big charger but we have 20 more acres to fence. I moved 4 of my biggest ,bossiest does over today and they were thrilled. Only one tested the fence and it works. My Blue Heelers though ,were less than thrilled. I have 3 dogs that take every step I take.If I back up too quick I step on them. If I stop they take up guard duty. Well... they have been going in and out of the fence wires while we worked on the fence so when I went in to walk the girls around they" tried" the fence. It took me 45 minutes to find one of them. Don't think they will try it twice In fact four hours later they are still on the porch. I hope it works as well for stray dogs and coyotes. I will try to post a pic or two tomorrow .Looks really good(as fences go) DH is a good fencer. It was too dark by the time I found the dog to get a pic.
