Containing Exotics

Electric fence systems for exotic animals are superior to barbed and woven wire fences, as the short, safe pulse of electricity creates a psychological barrier that trains animals to avoid the fence.

 

These electric fences can be designed for many different kinds of animals besides livestock and horses. They are effective, reliable and affordable, and require minimal maintenance. 

 

 

 

 

Llamas


 

Electric Fencing for Llama Containment

 

Llamas are intelligent and quickly learn to respect an electric fence. As highly sociable herd animals, they are more comfortable around other llamas, making them easy to control and train.

 

Containing exotics - llamasHowever, they present some unique challenges because their thick coats do not conduct electricity well and predators can be a problem, especially for young crias (baby llamas).

 

We recommend electrified high tensile fencing as a safe and secure solution. A high tensile fence effectively contains llamas while keeping predators out.

 

Depending on a variety of factors, the number of fence wires can vary from four to six, depending on:

  • whether you will separate crias at weaning

  • if you keep breeding males separated

  • if predators are a problem  

 

Recommended wire spacing options for llamas:

  • 4 strands for mature llamas

  • 6 strands for predators and crias

Llamas require a fence charger that can maintain 4,000 – 5,000 volts on the fence line. Voltage levels are impacted by vegetation on the fence line, length of fence and type of wire. Note: A minimum of 5,000 volts on the fence line is required to keep out predators.

 

Although llamas can protect themselves by kicking, they may be bothered by predators like wolves, coyotes, or stray dogs. However, crias are more susceptible to predators. A high tensile fence with properly spaced wires will deter predators.
