Hi,
I am thinking of getting a couple of pigs and putting them in a pen of hog panels beside my garden. ONe side would or could be attached to an electrical fence that encloses a pasture. I've wondered if I could run the electricity over to the hog panels to electrify it? I would put these on metal posts, I want to be able to move the pen.
The reason I would want to electrify it would be because of my sisters doberman. I would be buying young pigs of around 45-50 lbs. Would her dog leave them alone? I am afraid not
but am not sure since there have only been horses and cows on this farm since my sister got her (and chickens which she promptly killed). I know she didn't bother the new born calves but they are pretty big (I think they were angus, they were all black).
Thankful as always for the experienced posters on these boards!
