Choosing the right energiser for your electric fencing is key to effective livestock management. This guide breaks down the pros and cons of solar, battery, and mains-powered energisers, explains how to calculate the correct power (joules), and offers expert tips to set up a reliable system.

At Oaremead Farm on Exmoor, Tom, a fourth-generation farmer, has successfully transformed his cattle management system by introducing bale grazing and outwintering. Faced with the challenges of wet winters and soil compaction, Tom designed the Burge Bale Unroller (BBU) to minimise labour and protect his land. This case study explores how his innovative approach has not only improved herd health but also saved significant costs while supporting sustainable farming practices.

As farmers aim to lower input costs, reduce their carbon footprint, and boost profits, out-wintering livestock, when managed effectively, can offer significant advantages for both the farm and the environment—while also freeing up more of your time! An increasing number of livestock farmers are incorporating bale grazing each season.
