Pig QuikFence 6/30/12 • Six visible horizontal strands. • Vertical plastic struts every 12". • PVC posts are 0.75" dia with a single steel spike. Steel post spikes are 0.31" dia, 8" long. • Net is 30" tall when installed. Bottom strand is suspended 6" above the ground to prevent pigs rooting soil onto the fence. Users can slide the lower strand higher up as the pigs grow if they wish. This fence is a very good conductor (only 32 ohms of resistance/1000 ft). This ensures a strong, uniform pulse from end to end. 100' x 30" (SS), 11 lb.....................................#208062 $82.00 50' x 30" (SS), 5.50 lb.................................... #208061 $66.00 www.premier1supplies.com• 1-800-282-6631

Training pigs to
electric fence…
Experience suggests that
domestic pigs, unlike cows,
horses, sheep and goats, need to
be trained to electric fence.
Why?
Because pigs new to
electric fence may decide to
respond like pigs—and charge
forward through the fence
instead of backing away.
How?
Set up an electric fence
alongside (1 to 2 ft away) a secure
permanent fence that the pigs
can’t get through.
Make sure the fence is
electrified—at least 3000v at the
end of fence.
Introduce the pigs to the fence.
Monitor the pigs for a few hours.
Note: It’s essential to train domestic pigs to electric fences. Failing to do so can be expensive—
damage to the fence plus the damage the escaped pigs might create.
To purcha
se Pig QuikFence…1. Measure the fence line.
2. Choose the length and the amount of
netting needed.
Example: For a 250 ft fence
line, order two 100 ft rolls and one 50 ft roll.
3. Choose support posts
for ends, major
curves and corners
(see pp. 121-127)
.
4. Select an energizer, ground rod and a
fence tester—
