How much power does the cattle prodder give off?
It delivers a 4000-volt pulse, strong enough to move stubborn livestock, but designed to be safe and humane.
Do I need to touch the animal for it to work?
Yes — we recommend lightly pressing the prodder against the hindquarters (buttocks)of the animal for best results.
What animals can I use it on?
It’s ideal for cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep.
You can also use it for personal safety —some customers use it to deter aggressive dogs in farm or yard settings.
Will it hurt the animal?
No — the prodder is humane and safe. It gives a quick, sharp pulse that startles the animal, not injures it. Most of the time, the buzzing sound alone is enough to get them moving.

Let customers speak for us
I love this dryer it’s easy to clean and gets the dogs dry in half the time as my old dryer
Great machine quite powerful great for the price as well.
Handy to carry in bag or pocket was purchased based on website promotion that it can be used to deter aggressive or attacking dogs (living in a rural area where wild dogs can be a problem) but have not yet had to use it.
The trainer works well for both the border limits and for behavior control.
Very easy to deal with. Would definitely use again.
all good
👌
Nice size & compact, perfect for what we need.
Thanks to the team for prompt delivery 👍
This 48 km solar fence energiser is the second one I have bought.
I found the first one so useful that I ordered another for the other end of my property. That way, I can electrify two areas independently, without having to run connecting wires between them, or worry about whether switches are on or off..
G'day guys, I'm really very happy with both purchases, the prodder is great & it's holster is very well designed, service was great, postage was very quick & the company was fantastic to deal with 10 out of 10, I'll be back for more purchases very soon. Many thanks guys.
Great device to keep in the car to control the cows lurking the streets!
Good value works as it should
Fantastic little unit - easy & safe to operate ensuring you feel comfortable whilst working.
We moved to a new larger property with our 3 huskies who have always been contained behind 7 foot high, reinforced fencing and even that sometimes wasn't enough. So a move to a new property with farm fencing was a major concern. We tried this system and have not looked back. All 3 are now aware of the "no go zone" and so far so good (even with horses, other dogs and rabbits all around!)
This electrifier is a fantastic unit, I've now got two, one is on a three strand fence and the other on two, both are putting out good voltage and amps which works well, it's still very important to have a good quality earth stake tho. This company is only let down by the courier companies who do now treat packages well. More robust packaging would be appreciated.
