I had a horse that would leave the fence alone until the charger stopped working.Years ago I had a balance wheel charger on a fence around a pump house.I could hear the charger click 700 feet away.Many farmers here think that cattle can smell the ozone around a charged wire.I can smell ozone working on tv sets.I do think that cattle and horses are constantly testing a fence.About barbed wire on an electric fence ,DONT.
