[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 73970, member: 220"] Laughed when I read the "sting" and "tingle" descriptives from the post above as it brought back the last time I "involuntarily tested" our electric fencer. I bought a Hallman battery powered light sensitve (really cool) electric fencer to deal with a bull that wouldn't stay put a couple years back from the local Co-op store. Honey and I rigged up a temporary fence with it later in the fall to stretch our feed by fall grazing a quarter section of hayfield (we ended up putting a four wire fence there after this "brain fart" of an experience). Trouble was that there was a moose that kept barrelling through the poly/wire combo. Every morning we'd be out repairing the line and wishing the frost hadn't set so hard that we couldn't erect a proper fence. Well, one lovely morning I took the truck down with Honey to do our daily fence repair. I dropped him off at one end, drove to the middle to disconnect the battery, and with drove to the other end of the line... Brilliant idea was that I'd work my way back to the middle and meet Honey there. About halfway along the line I was lifting the wire when WHAM!!!!! Right hand and arm were numb and I was cussing a bloody blue streak! Apparantly Honey had beat me back to the battery, and seeing that I wasn't there somehow figured that I must've been done repairing my end. Being the conscientous fellow that he is, went right ahead and re-connected the cables to the battery. All I can say is that if it feels that way to my hand, can't imagine the sensation on a cow's sensitive snout. Yowza! Sure did break that bull of his wandering ways though. Must have really carried a jolt when conducted through a brass nose ring. Take care. [/QUOTE]
