My old fencer had a fast/slow option and that was a Rutland but it sadly died.
looking back at last summer I actually only had 1 break out and that was on the last move of the last fence of the year so I’m not complaining. The reason for that was I was strip grazing big wide strips so every stake you move you end up with a big gap until you get to the next one and move it up as we all know one off the cocky old cows seen the gap and went for it and fudged 30meter of new steel wire.
Setting cells up is so much easier than moving a long fence twice a day with the risk of a break out. Now I’ve got so much more equipment I’ll never go back to strips.
i only use steel wire just above knee height. (they could stride over it if they wanted.
I never had much joy with braid even though it’s easily joinable in event of a break unlike steel where you get a big knot that snags
