So we travelled south again this year to have a nosey around what was new and up and coming, Well what a great time we had caught a demo, caught up with some friends new and old, met with our manufactures and found out about some great new things on the horizon ( I will let you in on 2 sneaky things if you keep reading...)

Hi all,

Yip with the advent of a New Year and our brand new website due to go live online at the end of January it's an exciting time for us all here at EFD!

We've also decided to give out Newsletters a bit of a facelift - hopefully making it more engaging and thought provoking for all you lovely readers.

We are particularly interested in anything relating to life on the farm and electric fencing (of course) and our other products. And do let us know if there's any burning topics that we have missed that

Welcome it 2016 people,

So far we have had no snow but I am sure some people will have had some.

Electric Fencing in the Snow!

Well the winter is well underway and this means snow for most. Now if you are a chlid then all you are thinking of is building a snowman and sledging.. actually as an adult this can be fun but if you are a small holder or farmer then you are thinking maintenance of your electric fencing in the snow..

The cats were around 2 kilos in weight, but they took to the collars very well, which didn’t seem to annoy them in any way, even though, for me, they looked too big and heavy for their necks.  The cats are still growing, and nowadays I think they don’t look too large for their necks.  They love having the collars put on because they know what it means!

Everyone at EFD is animal daft - living with dogs, horses and cats ... so we have decided we are going to give a wee bit back to our beloved animals and help support a F A N T A S T I C animal rescue charity called the Hillside Animal Sanctuary.  Hip Hip Hurray for everyone working at this Sanctuary- you truly do amazing and invaluable work, thank you!

And we're particularly excited because we've managed to adopt this lovely wee girl, Candy Floss the Highland cow!

We've sold our electric fencing all over the world and have customers in Sweden, Singapore, France and Malawi to name but a few countries!!

We love to get photos and feedback on our fencing products from our customers and this blog shows some fab photos of a customer's poultry electric netting setup out in Almegijar near Granada in Spain.

The chickens here get to look at the beautiful Sierra Mountains every day - lucky them. And our fab 25m Solar Assist powered Premium Poultry netting kit keeps

It's been a brilliantly zappy year for us at Electric Fencing Direct - and some of our customers have been using our electric fencing in "less conventional ways"....

For example, take our customer Billy Roden: he has recently been using our electric fencing to increase the fun (?) aspect of some very dirty events ....!

Our energisers and other electric kit have been used to create rather challenging electric obstacles on several obstacle and mud runs - the very worthy ToughSh!t competition which
