Permanent electric
Permanent electric fenc* ing is now accepted as a sound alternative' to the ever increasing cost of conventional fencing. It is being used in almost every country where intensive agriculture is practised and indeed there are many farms where it has become an essential part of the stock control system.
Subsequent fencing needs are often hindered by the prohibitive cost of conventional sub-division fencing and the “Beattie” type electrified fence re-' duces these costs by approximately two thirds while losing nothing in its ability to control stock in both wet and dry climates. Owing to the varying demands made on an electric fence, there is no set pattern for the erection of
an electric fence where Beattie insulators are used.
