Power Fencing will help improve
your pastures and profit
Fifty years
development
Since 1938 Gallagher have been developing and
promoting the efficient use of equipment for improving
pasture utilisation. This brochure sets out the Gallagher
products now available, and how best to use them.
Cost reduction
Most farm costs are rapidly increasing, but, thanks to
high power electric fence energizers, and modern power
fence designs, the cost of permanent fencing is not. In
most cases, the profitability of animal farming is
dropping. An exception to this is where grazing
management is being intensified, either by the use of
controlled grazing with temporary fencing, allowing
animals to be given fresh pastures or crops daily, or by
the use of permanent subdivision (cross fencing) into as
rqany as one hundred paddocks.
Controlled grazing improves pastures, and allows up to
twice as many animals to be grazed on the same area
as uncontrolled grazing.
Insultimber High Power
Insultimber is a selected hardwood grown in certain
areas of Australia. It is so hard, dense and durable that it
does not absorb water or conduct electricity, and does
not need to be treated.
The ease and speed of erecting Insultimber power
fencing, and its durability, have made it the most
popular form of power fencing in New Zealand and
many other countries.
Economical fencing
Power fencing costs are only one quarter to one third
those of non-electrified fencing, which does, however,
have its place. Where the latter has deteriorated, one or
two offset wires can be attached, and the fence will
again become effective and last for many more years.
How many paddocks?
A frequent question farmers ask before they start
intensive subdivision is, “What size paddocks should I
aim for?”
It is not the size of the paddocks that counts, it is the
number of paddocks which is important. At least thirty
should be aimed for per herd, flock, or group of grazing
animals.
The most successful and profitable sheep, beef and
dairy farmers have 40 or more paddocks. These are
sometimes divided further with temporary power
fencing for strip grazing.
Power Fencing
Gallagher high power, solid state, low impedance
energizers enable long distances of permanent power
fencing subject to vegetation challenge, to be electrified
for the control of domestic, feral, and wild animals. High
power security fencing is also being used successfully.
