I remember being amazed by the autonomy of Liberian livestock in villages. And coming home to Switzerland and thinking "look at all these sheep/farmers that don't know that a flock can live without electric fences". What problem are you trying to solve by introducing electric fences to Liberia? (I think it's to enforce rotation, because I also remember overgrazing as a problem.)
Yes, the electric fence is to guide rotational grazing. While feeding livestock in a controlled process to produce offspring and high quality meat is the initial goal, the long-term goal is to improve soil health, fertility and quantity. Other than pigs, who are usually confined in small pins, pretty much all livestock are free ranged in the day and pinned at night (except in many villages). As a result, it's not uncommon to have towns and villages ban certain livestock over time. Usually starting with pigs, because of their uncleanliness and parasite/disease issues, then goats, because of their smell, droppings and destructiveness, and finally sheep, because of their smell and droppings.
We are located part way between the capital of Monrovia and the border with Sierra Leone. When will you be visiting Liberia? Who are you working with while in country?
