Electric Fence Questions and Answers

Electric Fence Charger Question:

I have a M150 that I ordered end of April 2013 so it's now 4 years old. Have 40 acres of grass so that's about 1.5 miles of single strand fence with a cross fence also so no more than 2 miles of wire. Without fence connected, the unit shows about 5.1 kV. When I hook fence line up to it, goes down to about 3.4 kV and at the end of the wire it's 1.1 , so barely even a shock. We have sand, buy it just snowed and rained 2 inches. 4 galv ground rods in a straight line 10 feet apart apiece. Insulators are on top of wood posts. Is my fencer bad or do I have another issue. Been working on this for several weeks. Calves walk right through the cross fence.

Answer:

It sounds like a grounding issue or a short in the line... fencer should be above 60000 v unhooked. Check your fencer, The check out fence, then your grounding system.
call Gallagher 800-531-5908 for tech service if you can not correct it on your own. Also Valley Farm Supply is a great place to call to talk to someone if needed.

Electric Fence Charger | What you should know

 

A joule is derived unit of energy, heat or work. For your charger, think of it as the output. More joules = more shock.

You have probably seen the terms Output Joules and Stored Joules. Don't get these confused, and be aware of which is advertised on the charger. They are not the same thing! A charger may advertise 30 Joules, but only refer to the stored joules (A fence charger will always store more joules than it outputs). Stored Joules represent the amount of power stored inside your charger. This is ran through an output transformer, which converts the power to a higher voltage. Some of the power is lost during this conversion. Output Joules refer to the actual output of the charger - the power available to shock the animal.

How will you weigh your cattle? | Gallagher Scales Solutions

Will you be weighing cattle in a permanent installation, such as a squeeze chute, or is a portable a better solution? The cattle weigh scale indicator connects to the load bars, and the model of load bars needed will depend on permanent vs portable installation and length of load bars needed.

Permanent installation such as a under squeeze chute: The Heavy Duty load bar set is ideal for use with squeeze chutes. The load bars/cells are installed under the chute, and they need to be mounted in concrete to ensure safety and reliability. (The chute does not have to be on concrete).


Portable installation in an alley: The Gallagher Alleyway load bars are designed for use with platforms in alleyways. This is a popular option because the scale system can be setup right before the entrance into the squeeze chute, or anywhere in the alleyway where the animal will be stopping. In addition, you can move this setup around/to another location, etc, as it does not need concrete - it is just on the ground.
