I ran electric fence for quite awhile without any problems.Thats was with pigs and bucket calf's at that.I trained the piglets early that the fence would bite.Never had them escape the electric fence ever.They were fed good so was no need for them to look elsewhere.

Neighbor down the road had all woven wire fence and couldn't keep his pigs in ever.As they were not fed proper and was lacking something in there diets and they were always out.

Main thing with electric fence was checking it every day.The larger pigs would try to root stuff into the fence.As soon as they heard that fence snapping they backed off and wouldn't mess with it.Had deer tear down some fence one time and with the fence snapping the pigs never gave it a thought to try to escape.

Guess i was lucky but I'm proof positive that if you do it right you can keep hogs in with electric fence.I heard over the years the claim made that you couldn't keep hogs in with electric fence.

We had several pens built with panels for sorting or keeping the boars separated at times.Other then that it was all fenced in with electric fence.Main reason is i didn't want a bunch of permanent fences up at the time.
