I hope she has learned her lesson and will stay away from the cattle.

Um, no offence, but if I were you I'd try and get it hotter than that. I know with the cattle that we had the fence was so hot it'd knock you on your @## and knock you out for a fraction of a second.grass said:
I'm not kidding! ESPECIALLY if you're only wearing sandals and no gloves!What kinda shoes/boots were you wearing when you tested it? Did you test it with your bare hand or a thick cowhide glove?
Do you have a fence tester at all? Better way at telling the voltage than by touching it.
Speaking of dogs, one time a few years ago we had a whole 20 foot section of fence taken down by a couple neighbor's dogs rounding up and riling up our cattle. The fence wasn't electrified, but it had a fair bit of barbed wire and a couple new fence posts installed. We were lucky that the cattle just broke out into another pasture, unlike several years before that when another herd of ours broke out of the corrals by pushing a real heavy iron panel over enough to let all 80 animals through. And I mean ALL 80-some feeder steers! They were just about to cross the highway a couple miles away if one of the neighbor's sons' on his quad didn't turn them around and head them back where they came from!
