That had to hurt! I'm terrified of that having just installed electric fencing to convince Cowboy to stay where he belongs! Yikes!

I'm guessing you will be smarter than me and not touch it again after you accidentally do it once. This makes the 4th time I'm raised up into the wire and I have a hot and ground over the fence so you are sure to get a good zap plus the ground is saturated today.

Bruce they ran an EKG and didn't seem that concerned and would have taken more steps this morning if the BP had not gotten down to a safer range.

I'm sure it'll happen at least once....

Wonder what that ekg would have looked like right after you got into the hot wire?

Well, on the bright side, it wasn't "flat line"...

I'm sure it'll happen at least once....

You can bet on it. I've managed it twice. It is always the "I'm not near it so I don't have to worry" times that you hit it. You forget that if you move you ARE near it. If you are working close to it on purpose you are VERY aware of exactly where the wires are.

Sounds like a good time to throw off the switch to me.

In hindsight, yes! The second time I hit it I was attaching chicken wire to the inside of the cattle panel part of the fence by the barn so the chickens couldn't go through. Not likely to have any predators trying to get over any part of the fence at that time. The hot wire is at 5' and the chicken wire was only 4' high, what could go wrong??

I think that is a tad too much for some electro-therapy and the landing had to jolt that shoulder some....sure Glad ya had the shot......

Thanks Fred - we had been out for a couple of hours working the sheep so most of the extremities were frozen.
