When a cow puts it's cute lil' nose to an electric fence wire, it discovers "ground":laugh:
During wet weather, the conductor (cow) is pretty efficient because the ground is wet. The earth around the ground rods is damp, and makes a good circuit. This is why you see cows wear rubber galoshes during wet spells...….ain't to keep their hoofies dry, it's to keep their nosies from gettin' shocked. They're smarter than ya think...…..
During hot, dry, weather...……….ya gotta have more ground rods.....dry earth doesn't make for good grounding. It also pays, during dry weather, to keep a few 5gal buckets of cubes in the back of the pickup so's ya can bring the cows back home when they just waltz thru the electric fence.
(P.S. ……………..I gave up on any kind of electric fencing about 2 decades ago
