Electric fencing: Securing livestock and crops
All farmers want to protect their livestock, assets and crops. Gallagher understands this need, and that is exactly why their electric fences are as good as it gets. These fences do not only ensure that the animals stay safely inside, but also keep unwanted intruders out.
Gallagher takes pride in the products they create to keep your animals safe
Gallagher provides different options in their fencing, to ensure every need is covered, like choosing between permanent and portable fencing. They also have options such as electric gates, insulators, batteries, earthing, solar panels… everything you could think of!
The S100 solar fence Energizer
Gallagher is well-known for the high-quality of their electric fencing. Not only do Gallagher’s electric fences provide a physical barrier, but after a while the animals know not to go close to the fence, and in this way a psychological deterrent is also created for animals. This dual function helps prevent livestock from wandering off, reducing the risk of loss and potential conflicts with neighbours. A standout feature of Gallagher’s electric fencing is their adaptability to different power sources. The fences can be powered through the grid, battery or solar power. The MBS6500i multi powered iSeries Energizer, for example, offers flexible power options, including grid, battery, and solar, making it suitable for various farm setups. This flexibility ensures that farmers can maintain effective fencing even in remote areas without reliable access to electricity.
Gallagher now offers a seven-year warranty on their Energizers. This gives you the peace of mind you need to take the step and invest in your own Gallagher electric fence system!

Weigh scales for livestock
A farmer can only make an informed decision if they can rely on the data they have. Gallagher weigh scales ensures that every measurement taken by a weigh scale is accurate.
The Gallagher W-0 weigh scale is an ideal entry-level option for farmers who want to monitor their livestock’s weights. This weigh scale is not complicated to use, yet still very accurate. Furthermore, these scales are easy to set up, making it easier for beginners.
The weigh scales are built in such a way that it can undergo even the harshest farming environments and still stand strong.
These advanced features facilitate better monitoring of animal growth and health. The ability to store and analyse data helps farmers identify trends and optimise feeding programs.
With the weigh scales and EID tag system, you can easily match the animal’s weight to an ID number. This means that you can keep all your records up to date and refer to them when it is time to make important decisions, like when it is time to buy new animal feed.
