Electric fencing help....😩

[Zaps]

Not horse..... but goat related.
The little toads have repeatedly escsped to the church next door....... we’ve bought a mass of electric fencing etc to pen them in.

My partner seems to think we can put jump leads on a car battery and out the leads straight to the fence without the need for an energiser?!

Please someone tell me he’s wrong?

lol, he's definitely wrong. I guess you could wire directly from the mains to the fence if your partner wants to end up fried.

Was at a yard once when they did that - definitely not to be recommended!

Have you tried keeping them in with electric fencing before? The goats here just laugh at electric fences.

Of course, you can, you would get 12v. The only way they would notice would be as a mild tingling if they put their tongue on it. The energiser converts the standard 12V from the battery into pulses of several thousand volts (low current so it doesn't kill). Just like a shock you get from static electricity, not pleasant, but non-lethal

He's wrong...Also if they don't have any horns I would have them behind sheep netting...
