Today we moved my cattle from their winter pasture down to the bottom summer pasture. The grown cattle just about knows what to do when I take the electric fence gate down. As they will walk up to the area where the electric fence gate was and stand there for a few minutes then walk through. The damn young calves are the problem as they have been shocked by the 10,000 volt fence they are terrified of it. The calves will follow the mature cattle who walked through then spook out and run back when they get to where the electric fence was.
My son sent down 2 of his workers to act a blockers behind the calves. On the 2nd attempt the calves went through.
I use a 20 ft. wide fenced walk way for about 500 ft long through the brush and trees from pasture to pasture.
Now I got a damn electric short somewhere and I've run out of energy so I'm taking a break to recover. But with all the problems I still enjoy keeping the cattle. No one in the family understand it though.
