I have two that I installed last Spring. They are the Patriot models sold at Rural King and were not what I would call expensive. One is on our vegetable garden out at the farmhouse. This is adjacent to the orchard and deer traffic is heavy. I have seen flattened areas in the grass where deer have bedded down only 50 feet from the garden. Not one time has a deer been in the garden to date but I did find the wire messed up a little one morning where they tried. The second unit is on a small pasture occupied by 7 Nigerian dwarf goats. They walked right thru it for several days. Problem was that ANY vegetation touching the lower wire saps the charge and renders the unit less effective. So we took a weed whip around and after that only one stubborn young goat kept getting out. He has since gotten a couple shocks on sensitive areas and stays in the pen. So I would say they work pretty good given you keep the wires clear of things that might cause shorts AND I would recommend you train the animals to know what the wire means before you trust them to a solar unit AND use a tester each AM on the wire. My 2 cents.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
