Use this electric fence voltage chart as a guide for your animal requirements
Beef Cattle
2,000 - 3,000 V
Bulls require a higher voltage as more aggressive.
Dairy Cattle
2,000 V
If kept separately, calves and heifers require lower wires and
less spacing.
Horses
2,000 - 3,000 V
Intelligent, learn quickly, easy to control. A fence made of
politape, wire or rope is less likely to injure if a spooked horse
tries to run through it.
Llamas
4,000 - 5,000 V
Thick coats insulate from electric shocks so require higher voltage.
Deer and Elk
4,000 - 5,000 V
Spook easily and jump higher than most other animals.
Above head height, electric high tensile fence recommended.
Space wires close enough to prevent stepping through or heads
between wires.
Sheep
4,000 - 5,000 V
Wool insulates from electric shocks so require higher voltage.
Goats
4,000 - 5,000 V
Some species have thick insulating coats requiring higher voltage.
Tend to test fences - space wires low to ground and high enough to
prevent being jumped.
Pigs
2,000 V
Start wires close to ground as rooting animal and finish at nose level.
Pets
700 - 1,000 V
Start wires close to ground.
Keep Out
Wild Hogs
5,000 V
Aggressive and persistent. Deter from rooting by starting wires
close to ground.
Wolves and Coyotes
4,000 - 5,000 V
Very thick, insulating fur requires high voltage. Can dig to reach
prey so place first wire low to the ground.
Bears
5,000 V
Thick, insulating fur requires high voltage. Bait fences to train
avoidance.
Deer and Elk
4,000 - 5,000 V
Move quickly and often run through fences unseen so make fence
highly visible.
Small Nuisance Animals
1,000 - 2,000 V
Start wires close to ground as small and most species prone
to digging.
