First thing you need is a digital meter. They are very sensitive and enough to detect stray voltage. Thing is you really need a rock solid hard earth ground. Copper rod driven several feet into the ground. Now take that meter and see what readings you get from all of the wires. Neutral should be very close to zero and ground should be ZERO!! Bet you get a tingle like when you were a kid testing a 9volt transistor battery with your tounge. If you have any weak heart problems don't do any touching kind of tests. That is what your cattle are feeling in their big wet fuzzy noses. This past summer I was changing the battery on my garden tractor. Very hot day, sweaty arms , touched across the battey. KATINGGGLE!! Trace voltages can absolutely destroy a milking herd. Production can crash. They used to use a VTVM meter. Very expensive meter with a tube amplifier in it. Todays $5.oo HF digital does it in a snap. The folks who used to do these tests were the county agent. That is back in the early 60s. If you don't know what you are doing don't screww around. A trace voltage can kill you. Just be careful. Also check for corrosion in your electrical boxes and look for loose connections too. Bet you find a corroded twist of wires inside of a twist nut connector. Have found more than a few where moisture is involved. That copper rod and the digital meter will point you to something very quickly. If any questions, GET AN ELCTRICTIAN !!!!!

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
