My smokin hot fencer.

Last year when we got goats we had to get a electric fencer for the pasture. We went to Lowes and pick up the cheapest fencer they had, only $23.00.  This little fencer is killer hot, literally. In one year it has killed 9 chickens, a squirrel and a full grown red fox. I accidently touch it with my elbow and it felt like sparks were coming out the sides of my feet. Wow. It doesn't pulse it is a steady current. My hubby put a light tester on it and it lite up the whole bar to 420 volts. That is messed up. I don't know if something is faulty with it or not but that just doesn't seem normal. We are expecting babies soon and I am worried about them accidently touching the fence. I think we might go get another fencer.
