I think I am sadistic

notjustair · Nov 2, 2013

Nothing makes me laugh harder than when one of the hogs gets zapped by the electric fence. I was feeding the sows just now and one of them backed into the wire. She hopped clear over the trough, bless her heart. I had to stop and lean on the gate I was laughing so hard.

Thank heavens they don't laugh at me when I accidentally hit it. I'd be mad.

They do!! they also know that if they were to show the laughter on the outside they would be early bacon. You can see the merriment in their eyes. Jim

reminds me of today, flipped down a friend's tailgate, to stuff some junk into his PU, and when it came down, it pushed my spare tire right into the high tension fence he was parked in front of! Sure glad it was off!

Boy, speakin of that I got it about the worst I ever did a month ago. Was pulling some stray weeds in the corner of the corral on one of those warm days, sweatin like crazy and got hit in the side of my head. like to knock me out. Saw a ton of stars and made my Grand daughter about wet her pants laughing!

I have heard that an electric shock to a sow would cause her loose her unborn babys. Is that true?

gene bender · Nov 2, 2013

If that is the truth from your informant he sure doesent know anything about pregnant sows as we would have never had any pigs.

The one that almost made me wet my pants laughing- We had a Paso Fino Stallion and we didn't want him to cover the grade mares so he spent a lot of time in his own pen surrounded by an electric fence. Well one of the grade mares came into heat and backed up to his gate, he figured he'd oblige her through the gate. About the time they got hooked up he gets his head up against the electric fence above the gate. One of them squealed like I have never heard before or since, sounded about like a hog. The mare shoots out from under him, he rolls over and lands on his back. Gets up and walks to the other side of the pen where he can't see any of the mares or other horses and stands there all afternoon shaking his head back an forth.

i would never admit to unplugging the fence on the pig pen an wait until they were chewing on it or pushing on it with there snounts. then plugging it back in.
but then again i got nailed hard the other day just by leaning on the fence that has a hot wire on the inside of it on the horse pen. all i was doin was scratching the head of daughterinlaws horse. i hate horses.

I once saw one of our cats climbing up a fence post trying to get near some sparrows in the hedge, as she was moving her tail from side to side in excitement she touched the electric fence wire that was attached to that post, there was an almighty "crack", the cat fell off the post then believe me I have never seen a cat run so fast in all my life!

(quoted from post at 18:41:16 11/02/13) I have heard that an electric shock to a sow would cause her loose her unborn babys. Is that true?

No. Maybe if she got caught up in some net fence for a few hours, but there isn't an electric fence that'll hold a determined hog for more than a couple shocks. Regular steel or aluminum wire won't harm anything though.

We had the Vet over to check out my daughters horse my daughter had a hold of the brass ring on bridle while the vet filed the teeth the horse backed into the fence and suddenly my daughter started to shreek it took a few seconds to figure out what happened.I took a tree down one time, the top of the tree touched the fence and I kept getting a strange sensation in my elbows the charge was going thru the tree and into the chainsaw. One other time I was jacking up a mobile home to level it when the aluminum siding touched the fence.

Poor old boy, he needed all the sympathy he could get.

I have been hit a few times where the electric wire run along the inside of woven wire shorted against the woven wire and I completed the circuit thru both arms and thru my chest(I think it stopped my heart). That hurt BAD. But the funniest (not at the time) was one night I came home from work at 1 am. Pitch black dark,no moon and I heard a cow bawling for her newborn calf. I took my flashlight and went looking. The cow gave birth along the fence in the one place where the calf could roll under the fence and down hill. I had to crawl under, shove the calf back under, uphill, slipping and sliding, getting exhausted, dropping my flashlight many times, finally getting the calf back, just inside the fence. Still panting, I stooped down to pick the calf up and carry it to momma. I started to stand and hit my ball cap, the little metal button on the top, to be precise, on the electric wire. I dropped to my knees, dropped the calf; actually fell on the calf. God that hurt : a shock to the head. I think I saw stars then. But all ended well when I finally got the calf to momma and it started nursing. Mark

when I was a kid around 12 or so my uncle was butchering chickens his mother was over to help,she was going to cross the fence(2 wires hot one on the bottom) she pushed the top wire down so she could step over it and she stepped between the wires then touched the wires toghther ,got zapped,let go and was kind of stuck there with her leg in between the wires she tried to grab my sister,who backed away,not wanting to get shocked and I took off running as fast as I could to the grainery to unplug the fencer while trying HARD not to bust out laughing I do not think she saw the humor in the situation though

Friend had a younger dog that was digging in his garden. He put an electric fence around the garden. Just about knee high. He then got to thinking the dog might not hit the fence. He wanted to be there to watch and see how it would work to keep the pup out of the garden. He took a hot dog and slide it on the fence wire. The pup came up and grabbed the hot dog/fence. You know what happened. LOL That dog will not eat a hot dog to this day.

About 40 years ago I went over to a friends place & as I pull up he's just finishing up washing & polishing all the chrome on his Harley motorcycle. We're standing in the garage talking when a neighborhood dog comes up, hikes up his leg & pees on the motorcycle. My friend who rides with the Satan's Slaves outlaw motorcycle gang said he'll fix that #-#(unprintable expletive)#-# . He goes behind the garage & gets a scrap piece of chain-link fencing and places it under the motorcycle; cuts the female end off a long extension cord & puts on a couple of large alligator clips and fastens one to the fencing and the other to the motorcycle; and then plugs the cord into the 110 VAC outlet. We're sitting inside my friends house having a few beers when we hear this horrific yowl, we look out the window & the dog is in mid-air, when he comes down the dogs feet were doing 90 and that's the last we've ever seen of that dog. I think he's STILL running. LOL!

Wisbaker's story reminds me of a story a neighbor told me. His boar was satisfying a sow and the sow backed the boar into the electric fence. The boar jumped clear over the sow and stood there with his (ehem) dangling on the ground. Jim
