There are numerous benefits of using this method. Electric fencing is superior to barbed wire or woven wire fences because it is safer. This fence sends only a small, electric pulse designed for deterring the animal from wondering very close. It certainly creates a psychological barrier in the brain of the cattle keeping them well within the confines of the fence.

There are two main features of an electric fence setup:
- The wire, tape or braid fence
- The fence charger which will supply the fence with small amount of voltage.
If one is considering the equipment right for the livestock, there are several features to look over and research first: The size of the cattle, the life expectancy of the fence whether one will work with the animals inside the fencing, concerns about keeping the animals away and to use rational grazing.
While setting up electric fencing supplies for cattle, it is recommended to use between 2,000 to 3,000 volts. This varies because of the voltage levels are impacted by the vegetation against the fence, fence length and the type of wire. It is important to note that 5000 volts minimum is required to keep the animals away from livestock.
