	Electric Fencing
		Fencing technology has drastically improved over the last 15 years, but breaking out of the old barbed wire fencing mode - lots of posts, several wires, and stretching the wire as tight as a fiddle string - gets people in trouble right away.
		Electric fences require less labor, are safer for wildlife, easier to build and maintain and cost much less than conventional fences.
		I know folks who hate electric fencing, but their pocketbook is not big enough to build a conventional fence, which may cost up to $1 per foot or more while an electric fence costs less than one-half to one-third of that.

	Electric fence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electric fences were used to control stock in the United States in the early 1930's, and developed further in both the United States and New Zealand.
		Electric fencing is probably more popular, however, for the construction of temporary fencing, particularly to support the practice of strip grazing.
		Electric fences were infamously used to guard the concentration camps of Nazi Germany during World War II, where potentially lethal voltages and currents were employed, continuously rather than in pulses.

		And electric fencing can be an effective means of temporarily dividing pasture areas, keeping your horses grazing in one area while another area is allowed to grow.

	Brown Bear Projects at the Alaska Science Center
		So I use electric fencing which not only protects my gear but also teaches bears (when they put their nose to the fence) that this place is to be avoided...
		For years the term "electric fence" was synonymous with images of 40-pound chargers, snarls of steel wire, heavy poles, car batteries and heavy steel grounding rods.
		Since electricity will only travel through a closed circuit, the fence wire, energizer and ground rod are three parts of a circuit waiting to be closed; when a bear touches the wire, it closes the circuit, and electrical current flows through the bear.

	We Sing the Fencing Electric - August 11, 2006
		Electric fencing runs on a charger, which converts a typical 110-volt, 15-amp branch circuit, such as those you might find in a house, into a pulsed, high-voltage, low-current output.
		Permanent high-tensile electric fencing still has its place for perimeter fences, corrals and other applications where the fence is meant to last, but the new temporary styles are gaining popularity quickly on many farms and homesteads.
		Third, an electric fence is primarily a psychological deterrent, not a physical barrier.

		The standards for these chargers include language that mandate electric fencing be harmless to a two-year old child who accidentally encounters it.
