See what happens when you get an important phone call while you’re about to go do some critter stuff, including turning off the energizer. Then, straddle the 42” netting, thinking you’d turned it off, only no….
“There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by readin’. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”

“To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is best to plan for all eventualities then believe in success, and only cross the failure bridge if you come to it." Francis Marion - The Swamp Fox
Bring’s back memories, my Dad told me one time about him peeing on hot wire, pulled off highway at night into dirt road, turned headlights off, got out and pissed , but it was on hot wire, he said it flipped him, I never forgot 😁
Out in the dark of the night as a kid, rounding up the milking herd, I have stepped over the electric wire numerous times, sometimes not so successfully.
There is nothing on this Earth quite like catching your crotch on a "bull proof" hot wire, especially with each foot in 2 inches of irrigation water.
I wish I could say it only ever happened once. When you get back to the barn, everyone laughs. They all know there is only one reason a guy would be soaked head to toe on a dry night.
My son, at six years old was crawling under the hot wire below the house in the cow/horse pasture. He raised his head right into the wire. He regained his wits about six feet from the fence. He left a tuft of red hair under the fence, where the spark burned it off.
I managed to build enough woven wire and 5 strand barbed wire fences on the place to completely phase out the fence charger.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
First wife locked herself out of the house one morning after I'd left for work. She decided to walk across the field to landlords house for a key. Dew covered hayfield or pasture & an electric fence. She was halfway over when she got hit,,,, from the whelps on the inside of her legs it looked like she got hit 4 or 5 times on each leg before she got away. (cryin here)
She was still a barnstorming bitch about it when I got home 10 hours later. Can't imagine what her coworkers had to go through that day. LMAO just thinking about it, would still pay big bucks for the video if there was one.
