ABSTRACT
In a controlled grazing operation, a grazing unit is divided into subdivisions or paddocks with all livestock concentrated in one paddock and then rotated according to plant growth. In a controlled grazing program, cattle are moved frequently; thus bite damage is reduced significantly, allowing roots to develop through leafy grass structures. Bull control is one application for Power Fence—either with three- or four-wire fences, or by simply offsetting a hot wire on an established barbed or net wire fence. Properly installed, a Power Fence can totally control bulls—in fact, there are two very large AI laboratories near San Antonio that have bull runs of Power Fence. Ratchet-type line strainers, tension springs, cut-off switches, and many miscellaneous accessories make the Power Fence a modern engineering fete that has saved the ranching and farming communities millions of dollars during the past several years.
