The Grazing season is approaching. Meaning that your animals will go outside again. Although some farmers during the winter period will continue to keep their animals outside. As an animal lover, you want to be confident that your animals stay safe in their pasture and do not have to deal with any outbreaks. It is therefore important to check your fencing to make sure it is working optimally. It is the perfect time to carry out this check for a fresh start to the new meadow season.

Preparation for the grazing season:

	The first step in the maintenance process is to check your energizer. If the energizer does not function properly, the fencing does not have the correct charge.
	The second step is to check the voltage on the fencing. You can make use of certain tools, such as the fault finder. It will support and speed up your process.
	The third step is to check the condition of your fence. All the used material needs to be on top condition to ensure optimal safety.
	The last step is to check the earthing. Grounding is important because properly grounded fences ensure optimum voltage. More information about grounding can be found here: how to improve the earthing of your electric fence.
