Step Away From The Electric Fence

It seems innocent enough, but if you see this sign it's probably not a good idea to touch it. That's because it is part of an electric fence supply. When ranchers want to keep their cattle, horses or other ranging livestock in a certain area they often use electric fences to keep them in certain areas. You will probably start seeing a lot more of these. With the move to organic farming more and more ranchers want to let their animals roam free. In order to do that they will need to utilize electric fence technology. Actually seeing a sign that alerts you to the fact that there is a current running through the wire is really helpful. Better than trying to hop a fence and learning it is hot once you grab a hold.
