I just don't understand the way you city fellers think, I guess. What's with this preoccupation with the "ozone" thing? Where's the spark that causes this so-called "ozone" smell? Why can’t a dog that has 800 times the smelling sensitivity that we humans do smell it and stay away from an electric fence? If you stand and watch your dog, your cat, pet parakeet or 100 head of hogs/cattle that come into the presence of an electric wire for the first time, one by one they will put their noses on the wire, take the shock and they remember that it "hurts" just like we do. Horses remember like an elephant and never forget throughout their lives. Horses don’t even like to walk across an area that no longer is hot wired, but once was. “Smart cows” don’t push “dumb cows” into the electric fence to “test” it. Granted, I’ll give you that “critters” are way, way more sensitive to juice than us humans are. They can feel a trickle charge long before we can. They don’t have the insulating properties of shoes/boots; they are barefoot all the time. Allan

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
