Pig & Hog Fences
Designed with swine in mind
Pigs don’t jump, so fences may be low in height. Though coyotes can jump shorter
nets, they wisely avoid sows with their broods as well as feeder pigs.
Pigs and electric fence
Pigs are easily contained by electric
fence because they have excellent foot-to-
ground contact. Keep in mind, pigs are
smart and will test low-voltage fences.
• Check fences often with a fence tester
• Minimum 3000V required
Pigs root and burrow along fence lines,
so routinely checking the fence to make
sure it’s still properly electrified. Due to
their rooting, they may bury the lowest
electrified strand, shorting out the fence.
Because of their rooting, hogs are
excellent tillers for gardens and other
spaces that need soiled efficiently turned.
Train pigs to electric fence
Why? Untrained pigs may decide to
respond like pigs—and charge forward
instead of backing away. Resulting
in escaped livestock and unhappy
neighbors. Therefore, pigs must be
trained before you can rely on the fence
for containment.
How? Install an electric fence inside
a permanent fence or corral that the
pigs can’t escape. Maintain a voltage of
at least 3000V. Introduce the pigs and
monitor until each is shocked once.
The pigs are now trained, and you may
rely on the fence to contain them. They
won’t forget the shock.
