Goat experience with Electro Stop?

Does anybody out there have personal experience with Electro Stop moveable fencing and Boer Goats? Before I spend the big $$, I'd like to hear from others who've used this product. Also, I have no experience with any kind of electric fence. How hard are these things to hook up?
Thanks!

Here on Premier's farm we have used the portable electric nettings for over 25 years. The ease of installation, removal, and the effectiveness has been a key component for controlled grazing and predation control. One of the main keys to it's success is proper electrification which allows the fencing to work as designed, a pain barrier. Selecting the proper size energizer for the application will insure that the normal weed load that the fencing encounters does not overload an energizers ability to adequately energize the fencing.

Thanks

When I order my net fence system, will you send me information about how to hook this thing up?
Actually, on second thought, I would feel better about ordering if I already had comprehensive information about electric fencing, and the netting fence. I cannot overstate the fact that *I KNOW NOTHING*, nor does my husband, about electric fences. I need to know how does the energizer hook up to the "grid", does it just plug in? I was told that I could just run a temporary electric fence line from my power source to where I want to have my nets, but I don't even know how to do that. I know I can do it if I have good information. I strongly believe in the 4-H saying, "Learn by Doing"
I need to know exactly what I am going to need to build this fence, down to the last inch of wire and insulator (do I need an insulator?).
So far I know I need:
nets
energizer
extra posts for tall nets
some kind of gate
voltage tester
warning signs

Anything else?
