FAQ
How many volts is an electric fence for sheep?
We recommend 4,000 to 5,000 volts at a minimum to ensure the sheep stay in, though some sheep may require more or less. A 6 volt solar fence charger, like the MI S20, is ideal for this purpose and can cover up to 12 miles or 40 acres of clean fence.
How many joules for sheep fencing?
You'll want at least .2 joules per mile for the effective containment of sheep, though this may vary depending on factors like the conductivity of the fence and level of vegetation. This is the stored energy that the energizer delivers to the fence.
Does electric fence work with sheep?
Electric fence does work with sheep and is a proven method for livestock confinement. One of the benefits of electric fencing is that it is highly visible, making it easy for sheep to see and avoid - plus, it's cost-effective.
Is higher joules better for electric fence?
Higher joules aren't always better, since the amount of joules required depends on factors such as the length of the fence, the amount of power required, and the level of vegetation.
What is the best electric fence system for sheep?
The best electric fence system for sheep should have a durable and weatherproof energizer, a solar panel for power, and a strong and visible fence with good conductivity. The MI S20 6 Volt Solar Fence Energizer meets all of these criteria and is an excellent choice for sheep farmers.
How do you set up electric fencing for sheep?
Start by selecting the right energizer and fence wire- the energizer should be installed in an area where it can receive adequate sunlight and should be connected to a well-insulated fence wire with good conductivity. The fence should be set up in a way that makes it highly visible to the sheep, and should be regularly checked for any damage or loss of power.
