Pauline, I used to be able to hear them click. I found one last year that wasn't clicking and stepped over it. I haven't decided whether my hearing is defective or they are now silent. I can assure you it was on.
Electric fences have become hi tech since I dealt with them in the 50's. Yes we did touch the wire. we dared each other to so who could hang on the longest!
I am shocked at how I remember the electric fence around the few head of cattle my Dad raised.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen an electric fence up close.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post Pauline, I've shifted more electric fences than I care to remember!
ReplyDeleteClever girl, very artistic images!
They are the only thing that would keep the Highland Cattle in the paddock in front of The Cottage. Any ordinary fence was demolished in no time.
ReplyDeleteI remember you could test the electric fence out with a blade of grass...
ReplyDeletevery nicely written about fencing wire
