More Control. Move Faster. Graze Smarter.

Portable electric fencing is one of the simplest and most effective tools available to livestock producers looking to improve pasture utilisation, manage grazing pressure and respond quickly to seasonal conditions.

Whether you're strip grazing cattle, rotating sheep through smaller cells, protecting newly established pasture or creating temporary laneways, a portable electric fence allows you to put stock exactly where you want them, when you want them there.

Unlike permanent fencing, portable systems can be installed, moved and packed away in minutes. Lightweight components such as poly braid, poly wire and poly tape make the system easy for one person to handle, while Gallagher's portable fencing range delivers the reliable shock performance needed to keep livestock respectful of temporary boundaries.

The benefits are immediate: 

• Create temporary grazing cells quickly and efficiently. 
• Increase pasture utilisation through rotational grazing. 
• Reduce overgrazing and protect recovering paddocks. 
• Improve feed allocation during periods of variable growth. 
• Establish temporary laneways for easier stock movement. 
• Adapt rapidly to seasonal conditions and changing feed availability.
  

Set up a portable fence system with no fuss

Every portable fencing system starts with the same objective: delivering reliable power to a visible temporary boundary that stock respect.

The beauty of portable fencing is its flexibility. Whether you're managing 20 sheep, 200 cows or multiple grazing mobs across a large property, the system can be scaled to suit your operation. 

The Essential Components

Lithium Solar Energiser 

At the heart of every portable fence is the energiser. Gallagher's Lithium Solar range combines solar charging, lithium battery technology and portability in a compact unit that's easy to connect, transport and reposition as grazing areas move.

Tread-In Posts 

Lightweight and quick to install, tread-in posts make it easy to create break fences, temporary paddocks and grazing laneways without tools or heavy equipment. 

Geared Reels

Reels allow you to deploy and retrieve braid, tape or wire quickly, reducing setup and pack-down time and making frequent fence moves practical. 

Poly Braid or Poly Tape 

Poly braid provides durability and excellent conductivity for repeated use. Poly tape offers superior visibility, making it ideal for training stock or highly visible boundaries. 

Smart Fence Systems 

For producers wanting maximum speed and simplicity, Gallagher Smart Fence systems combine posts, reels and conductors into a single integrated unit. Simply roll out the fence, connect the energiser and you're ready to control grazing.

For producers practicing intensive rotational grazing, Smart Fence systems make daily or weekly fence moves fast enough to become part of the normal routine, rather than another time-consuming job. 

Power to the Fence: Choosing the Right Solar Energiser

The right energiser depends on the length of fence, stock type, pasture conditions and frequency of use.

know they can’t get past. A Mega Anchor is the basis of that fence as it can be fitted out with everything you need, from gates to electric fencing. Once in place, you’ll have a fence line animals will not cross.

Model	Best Use
S20 Lithium Solar	Small paddocks, stock training and short grazing breaks
S30 Lithium Solar	Regular strip grazing and small-to-medium grazing cells
S60 Lithium Solar	Multi-wire sheep systems and higher stock pressure
S80 Lithium Solar	Longer fence runs, heavier pasture loads and tougher terrain
S120 Lithium Solar	Large-scale, remote or demanding off-grid grazing systems

As a guide, heavier pasture growth and longer fence lengths generally require more output to maintain effective voltage .

Quick Tips for Sheep

Sheep can be highly responsive to portable electric fencing when systems are set up correctly.

• Use two or three fence wires where possible. 
• Position a lower live wire for lambs and smaller sheep. 
• Maintain good fence voltage and visibility. 
• Move fences regularly to reinforce stock behaviour. 
• Establish temporary laneways for easier stock movement. 
• Use braid or tape that is highly visible and easy to handle.
  

Recommended starter setup: S20 or S30 Lithium Solar Energiser, tread-in posts, 2-3 strands of braid, geared reel, earth stake and lead set.

Quick Tips for Cattle

Cattle can often be managed effectively with a single hot wire, making temporary fencing one of the most efficient grazing tools available.

• Use one wire for trained adult cattle. 
• Add a second wire for calves, weaners or higher stocking pressure. 
• Use braid where fences are moved frequently. 
• Consider tape where additional visibility is beneficial. 
• Maintain consistent fence voltage for best results.
  

Recommended strip grazing setup: S30 or S60 Lithium Solar Energiser, 1-2 braid lines, tread-in posts, geared reel and gate handle.

Quick Tips for Mixed Livestock and Remote Grazing

Managing multiple livestock classes or larger grazing areas requires additional flexibility.

The most important consideration is maintaining reliable power throughout the system. Fence length, terrain, stock numbers and the combination of livestock being grazed all influence the ideal setup.

For mixed grazing enterprises, adjustable wire heights and highly visible conductors can improve stock control across multiple species. In larger or more remote paddocks, choosing a larger energiser and implementing good earthing practices will help maintain fence performance.

Recommended mixed grazing setup: S60 or S80 Lithium Solar Energiser, multiple reels, adjustable conductor heights and visibility tape.

Recommended remote grazing setup: S80 or S120 Lithium Solar Energiser, strong corner support, multiple reels, quality earthing and regular voltage monitoring.

Make Every Blade Count

As many producers move through spring into the early summer growing period, feed quality and pasture utilisation can change rapidly across the farm. Portable electric fencing provides the flexibility to respond just as quickly, allowing you to capture surplus feed, improve grazing efficiency and protect valuable pasture when conditions turn.

Whether you're tightening grazing rotations, setting up temporary breaks or managing stock through changing seasonal conditions, Gallagher's portable electric fencing range gives you the confidence to move fast, stay flexible and make every hectare work harder.
