Just thought I would share our ewes enjoying the new electric fence. So far so good.

Most of them have been zapped. Some of the cats and one dog thus far have learned about the fence as well.

That looks great! Did you use all wire for the conductors? I just replaced all my ElectroNet with semi-permanent electric fencing, and it is so much better in every way. I no longer have to waste time moving fences, I don't worry about the sheep getting tangled in it (yes that did happen!) and it looks so much nicer. I used 5 strands of conductors with T-Post corners and 1/2" FiberRod for line posts. The bottom two strands are Max-shock, the middle two are IntelliRope PE 4.5, and the top strand is IntelliRope PE 6.0. ElectroNet may have it's place for some people, but this fence setup is so much better for me. Your fence looks nice BrownSheep, and it should work very well for you.
