[TheForge] radio fencecs/electric fence ( was Re: setting fence posts )

[terry l. ridder]

hello mike;

the buried fences are not worth the time to read their proproganda.
a friend's dog just figured out that if he laid in a certain spot near
the buried fence that the shock was not that bad and that the batteries
in the collar were discharged in no time at all. batteries dead he would
wander as before.

i have an electric fence buzz box from the years that i raised sheep and
goats. it will knock a human adult male down to their knees with no
trouble at all.

the sheep did not mind the fence because once their wool was back
their never felt it. the goats particularly the bucks loved to piss on
the fence. i never figured it out. jimmy, a purebred alpine would do
that. after he was done urinating he would fall over like he was dead
and lay on the ground paralyzed from the shock. after around 15 minutes
he would get up and be as mean as he was before. jimmy, eventually
became goat burgers.
