best fencer for e-net/sheep/coyote control

Hi we use electro net - usually tying into the hot wire on the perimeter fence - NO lamb/ewe loss due to coyotes since we began using electro net and this system! :) Now we will be grazing ewes and older lambs at a nearby farm - away from our view so are nervous about coyotes. What is the best fencer to power 6-10 rolls of electronet through grass that could be a few inches tall? Battery or Solar? We will be checking on the flock 2x daily but still worry since we've lost full grown ewes in midday to coyotes in the past...

Thanks!

An IntelliShock 52B (item #116850) would be a great energizer to use. The 42B would work on 10 rolls of the netting. But the 52B is 1 joule larger so it should be able to handle some weed load with the 10 rolls. Just test your fence and make sure the reading is 3000 volts or more..You can add a solar panel with this. Use at least a 44 amp hour battery. Hope this helps.
