[QUOTE="Bama, post: 163764, member: 1184"] 120 can kill a calf. If its standing in water or muck the current crossing the heart will be enough to stop it. 220 is nothing more than 2 - 120 lines. Chances are when people say they got hit by 220 did not but were only hit by one side 120 to ground. As someone mentioned before its the current that kills. 1 tenth of 1 amp across a heart can stop it. Higher currents and there will be a exit wound. I doubt you will find one in this case. Now back to the point. if the outlet had a cover on it it would be hard to get into the "hot" part of the plug. If the tounge was really wet with slobber it wouldn't be impossible. Slobber would be a good conductor. AS mentioned before all wiring within critter reach should be protected. I ran emt conduit in my barn. A outside outlet cover also needs to be installed. It has flaps over the plug when not in use. This would be a quick fix for less than $3.00 if the wiring is protected. [/QUOTE]
