RE: Tough times at Duck Ponds Farm
That may work. There needs to be enough moisture in the ground though to transfer the current from wherever the animal touches the live wire, through the ground, back to the earth stake. If there isn't enough moisture in the ground, the circuit won't be completed.
That is why I have my rod where I do. When it is hot/dry I have my ac on. The ac unit "waters" the rod. I have fence alerts that will flash if my fence gmhas a issue. Yet to have an issue due to grounding in 7 years.
