I have used solar fence chargers with good results. If you have decent solar exposure these units are hard to beat for their simplicity and cost. No maintance other than battery replacement after several years.

I second this option as I have used many different solar chargers and electric fence combinations. Fences use most of their power if shorted so a very small recharge is needed unless weeds, downed wire, etc have the fence grounded out.

Penning pigs next to a running stream of water may not be so great of an idea. Fencing to keep them away from running water is a great idea.

I thank you all. Time for me to have a re-think maybe.

Best wishes,

Bill
