Dori, thanks for the tip on the Wasp charger. Where can I buy them, and what
sort of ground rod are you using? Are you familiar with Premier's new
Intellishock fence charger that has a built in ground rod? Have you used
one? I'd like to try one but they are quite expensive.

Also, we use the feed bucket decoy when we move goats and poulry. Just put
the feed bucket where you want them to be and when they swarm on it you can
move the fence around them. Works well for goats, pigs, bulls, chickens, and
sometimes turkeys.

Thanks

Andy Lee
