In Europe, there are many pastures that lie outside the reach of mains power. In such cases, farmers have to rely on alternative solutions to provide the fence with sufficient voltage.

In recent years, the wolf has made a comeback in Europe. In many areas, this is causing concern among farmers and the general public. There is also growing attention in European politics to the impact of the wolf on agriculture and the environment.

Horses have different requirements for a fence than other animal species. Horses are large, powerful animals with a strong flight instinct. In stressful situations, they react instinctively and with great force.

Damage caused by wildlife is a recurring problem for an increasing number of both livestock and arable farmers. The risk of damage to crops and farmland increases as crops develop.

An electric fence seems simple: as long as there is voltage on the wire, the animals stay in the field. In practice, however, it is harder to tell whether the fence is working properly before the animals have escaped.

Solar-powered energisers are becoming increasingly common these days. In the past, farmers typically relied on energisers powered by heavy 12V batteries or 9V batteries. Now, however, a wide range of solar-powered alternatives are available.

The moment young animals go outside for the first time is always special. For foals, calves and lambs, it means freedom, space and new stimuli. Because these animals have no experience of being out in the field, extra care is needed when preparing them. A

The specifications for energisers often feature impressive figures: 8,000 volts, 10,000 volts or sometimes even more. Many people automatically assume that the higher the voltage, the more powerful the device. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The volt

Wild animals such as wolves, wild boars and foxes are increasingly posing a challenge for farmers and livestock owners. They can damage crops, spread disease and pose a threat to animals in the pasture. A standard fence is often not enough to prevent this

Weighing and identifying animals is essential for every modern livestock farmer. It gives you insight into the health and growth of your animals, helps you monitor their performance and enables you to make good management decisions in a timely manner. Gal

A durable and reliable permanent fence is essential for safe pastures for cows. Over longer distances, good conduction is important so that the voltage from the energiser reaches the entire pasture.

Looking for an easier way to easily move wires and give cows a new patch of grass? Gallagher's tumble wheels are ideal for this. With tumble wheels, one person can move a wire in minutes.
