28 SHEEP AND GOAT FENCES • 1-800-282-6631
Semi-Permanent
Description
Consists of up to 4 strands of IntelliBraid
3.0 or IntelliTwine™ conductors (see note on
page opposite) suspended under low tension
(approx. 25 lb) between posts spaced up to 35
ft apart. The conductors are stored, unwound
and then rewound onto large reels such as
SupaReels™ or EzeReels™.
SupaReels have a built-in friction brake
that enables multiple reels to be unrolled all
at once by walking away from the end post
assembly while pulling on all strands at the
same time. EzeReels, by contrast, don't have
a brake. Therefore they must be unwound by
carrying the reel.
For end and corner posts, most use steel T
posts, small wood posts or large FiberRods.
Uses
• Subdividing large pastures to control
grazing and reduce trampling.
• Strip-grazing rape, turnips, corn stubble.
• Short-term boundary fences on rented
land for pretrained sheep or goats.
• Containing feeder lambs on alfalfa and
rye grass fields (e.g. California’s Imperial
Valley, Oregon’s Willamette Valley).
• Containing dry does/ewes when food,
sexual libido and newly weaned kids/
lambs are not an issue.
A 3-strand fence supported by Premier’s white
PigTail step-in posts with extra clips attached.
We have found this post to be easier to use
than most plastic step-in posts—and they don't
break—but they do bend.
Note: The 3-strand fence in the diagram below is
attached to an existing electrified permanent fence
with 3 conductor hooks and PowerLinks.
Points to consider
Because reel systems rarely exceed 4
wires, animals (insulated by their hair or
wool) can push their heads between the
wires if they feel it’s worth it .
They are less likely to do this if:
1. They’re pretrained to the “wires.”
2. They’re not starved and the forage
inside the fence is of high quality.
3. The energizer and conductor combine
to produce a powerful shock (high
voltage and joules).
Cost: as low as 18¢ per ft
Cost varies because the same reel
assembly and energizer is needed whether
the fence is short (400 ft) or long (1200 ft).
The 3 strands by themselves cost as little
as 9¢ per ft. Posts cost 5¢ per ft.
Reels last for decades. Twine may survive
5 years. FiberRods may last 10 years.
To install
Tools: Steel maul or sledge to drive in the
reel post support stake; fence tester.
Time: About the time it takes to walk any
distance (e.g. 1000 ft) twice.
Skill: Minimal.
