Pell and Gallagher are two companies that manufacture electronic control
modules for electric fencing. My memory says they’re both out of New
Zealand, and the literature I’ve read makes claims for controlling wild
game animals including deer. Both companies make several models with a
range of specs. including working off batteries.
Will you do me a favor? Ask the farmer you’re passing this info on to
to please check local suppliers before attempting to mail order. The
maintenance issues come into play, and a local dealer will probably be
able to answer questions and make suggestions for specific fence design
in the area. Buying locally strengthens the dealer and hopefully, the
local community. Local patronage helps keep the dealers in business so
other small farmers and ranchers can continue to patronize them. You
know, the sustainability thing.
For me, it’s the same as buying food from the local farmer.
