Prices of an electric fence for pigs?
This question depends a lot on the size of the fence needed, and how much power it will take to discourage them from touching it. Energizers for the fence will start around 40.00 (USD) and go up from there. Wire will cost from 0.25 (USD) per foot and go up from there, plus you will need insulators, stands, etc..etc.. An average "Garden Kit" for dogs, rabbits, etc. will run about 150.00 (USD). Of course these prices go up with selections, solar energizers cost more, batteries for them, plus the storage box.
