Welp, I bought a new copper ground rod and watered it after I drove it in,the fence now snaps when I put the tester prod onto it. I guess I should have three copper rods according to some sources, however this seems to be working. I had a steel ground and when I pulled it it was all rust so that explains the poor ground. Thanks to all who responded. Also I decided that that relieving myself on the ground post every morning was too risky...my "anatomy" and "electric fence" should never be used in the same sentence! I enjoyed the humour and all the suggestions, thanks Tractor Neighbours...Mike in Exeter Ontario

one thing I found that works, is if your fence has like three wires is to make two hot, wire the third one to all the post, and hook that wire to your ground.. that way all your post are ground rods.. works pretty good for me.. though I would leave your copper rod where it is.. if you don't qite under stand let me know, and I will try again..

Tim,I got ya, I was on a site that explained three different ways of running an electric fence and what you suggest is one of them, I like the idea of ground and hot parallel to each other, will set an animal back pretty quick I would think...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Tim, I had to use that method when my two kids were raising sheep for 4H. Seems like the wooly critters were immune to electricity, until I added the extra wires that were grounded.

Yes.... And if the voltage is lowish, it still won't stop the wooly buggers. If you've got a fence that will hold sheep, you've got a fence that'll hold just about anything. They've got to be one of the hardest creatures to fence.....

The hair won't conduct electricity. But, get one wet and they will back up.
