They used to be common, was one near the little league field, people would duck into the hedgerow and water the bushes, heard of a few finding that fence too ! Vaguely remember how strong they were, unlike that modern stuff we have at the farm now, stranded whatever it is type wire yellow and black, just gives a little snap, can hear it in the rain, don't spook em like the old ones, seems to work much better as they will come over to the fence.
