Jolt Polywire helps fatten the lambs!
Baystock is a large farming operation in Hawkes Bay dedicated to lamb finishing. There are two hill county blocks used for breeding and finishing, and the farm is very progressive, with modern farming practices. Annually, Baystock is fattening about 80,000 lambs.
Baystock Director, Jim has been ordering 2mm Jolt Polywire since 2021 when it was first imported from Europe and added to the Jolt product range. The wire is supplied ready to spool onto fencing reels and is ideal for rotational grazing or short-term animal control.
Jim had heavily-researched the different Polywire options on the market and found Jolt’s offering to be cheaper when ordering by the pallet. Now in his third year of using it, he adds; “we get on alright with the Polywire. It’s fairly straightforward to use and its holding up well so far.”
He did add that when they run the wire off for the first time they have to be careful to unroll it straight so the wire doesn’t drop off the side of the roll and jam on the axle of the winder. Otherwise, this lightweight portable fencing wire has a high conductivity rating and is proving to be unbreakable when put under tension.
Jim appreciates the service he gets from the Jolt team. He finds the bulk-buy discounts a smarter way to shop. While based in Hawkes Bay, he is not put off by placing an order over the phone because he knows the turn-around time is excellent. By ordering in bulk he’s not facing multiple freight charges.
For other large-scale farmers considering electric fencing, Polywire is a smart choice and Baystock intend to use it into the future.
