Fence Voltage Requirement

How many volts are enough? This is actually quite complex and there are several variables to consider. As a general rule these figures may be used as a guide.
Remember: there's no way this jolt of current can hurt your animal, but it needs to be definite enough for your animal to remember it and want to avoid it.

Animal	Minimum recommended voltage on fence line
Horses	2000 - 3000 volts
Cows	2000 - 3000 volts
Bulls/Bison	3000 - 4000 volts
Sheep/Goats	4000 - 5000 volts
Pigs	2000 - 3000 volts
Predators（Wolves)	4000 - 5000 volts
Exotics/Deer	4000 - 5000 volts
