I had my two grandchildren helping me feed apples to the cows, I warned them about the electric fence and told them it would bite them if they touched it. Keith who is three was throwing apples into the barnyard and as he wound up he grabbed a wire for balance, I saw his little hand reach through the web fence and grab tightly to the electric barb. I yelled No Keithy No! and I saw his little hand flex, then he looked at me and started to cry..I doubt he will ever touch an electric fence again..and I was only about five feet from him and couldn't save him from the fence..a lesson learned!

yea those fences can bite, I can remember fixing a fence when my now oldest son was 3-4. I forget exactly what we were doing, I think unraveling a barb that shorted on the hot wire but he was on my lap helping dad, he had his "real" hammer, well the rubber must not be real rubber because it sure didnt save us from ending up on both of our butts about 5 feet away from the fence after his hammer touched the live wire,,

but they survive, they will still check my fences for me with no tester[9 and 14 now], they ask dad is this on, I say yup, they say you sure?? I say yup,they say should we test it? I know its on it dont need testing, well I am going to check it dad, grabs hold of it and says yup dad its still working,they kind of do it as a joke now, I still need my tester, although the fences still bite me unknowingly, hurts worse now that I have a titanium rod in my leg, that really smarts,

Michael: When I was about grade 5 in a one room school, farmer next door put up his electric fence during morning school hours right along the edge of school lot. When the teacher let us out at noon, about 10 of us went behind woodshed from view of the school. By and by this annoying little spoiled brat of a kid that just started school showed up on the sceen. We all proceeded to have a pee, letting on we couldn't pee over the fence. Well, that little kid Freddie, took it upon himself to show us how it was done. When the pee stream hit the fence, all H@## broke loose. Freddie started howling blue murder, two of his older brothers, started throwing rocks at us. One of our buddies wound up with a knee, the size of a soccer ball, three broken school windows and all the original pee guys were kept after school.

Last time I talked to Freddie, he still has a high pitched voice. Having had a few electric fence shocks in my day, via fingers and legs, I can well imagine how it must feel via the groin area, especially transmitted via liquid.

I remember once having some gilts running in an electric fenced yard with a bore. He became interested in one of the gilts while she was about 2' from fence and back to it. He tried to root her out of there. No way, she was ready and wasn't going to budge. He finally wiggled his way around, mounted and got down to business. All of a sudden he backed into the fence. He had no problem making the gilt move then, she pulled out and left him virtually standing on his hind legs. I though what a way to get a shock, can you imagine that one fellows, having your partner grab the electric fence at that time.

When i was about 7 we had a city cousin staying with us and for some unknown reason he decided to pee on an electric fence. I doubt if he ever done that again either.

Michael, sounds like a lesson learned for me at around the same age.

Dad and I was at the neighbors when I was little, they had apple trees in the lower field and I would always go down there and get myself a crab apple. Well this particular day I jerked away from my dad and started running to the apple tree, neighbor could not get get out of his mouth quick enough that the electric fence was up across the lane. Stuck a barb right between my eyes, and could not get loose from the fence. My dad had to push my real quick to knock me away...I guess you know I never headed for the apple tree ever again without first looking...LOL

Real shocking experience...:>(
