There is some equation about the setting vs the pounds, but I honestly don't remember...like I said, it was years ago. (It's like, X volts per pound up to Y pounds, then 2xX volts per pound up to Y pounds...blah blah blah...I don't remember.)
Of course, we had to get a higher voltage for a goat, but we looked into it for the pekes we had at the time that took great pleasure in taking off after the cows next door when they saw them. It kept the goats in place nicely...you know how goats will (try to) eat anything...well, that doesn't stop w/ fences...nasty little lesson for them I must say... |
Well I have to say you learn something new every day
I did not know that you can buy that wire for smaller animals. I live in a rural area and perhaps they only sell it for cattle and horses etc here. As a city girl there are certainly things I haven't learned yet.
I have a little goat and he would cry like a baby if he ever got shocked LOL! He is a big sissy.
I still don't think I would use it on my 2 but I feel bad for my foals if they get shocked so maybe it is me that is the big sissy
