Or that cows can quickly determine when an electric fence isn’t working and rampage a winter feed paddock in an hour.


Cows seem to inherently know when it's down, and choose rainy nights exclusively to go on a tear around the neighbor's fields instead of my own.

We had pigs for one terrible year. Pigs know when the electric fence is down because the sociopaths regularly push each other into it. I think they do it to a) test the defense and b) because they're bastards that enjoy watching other creatures suffer.

I hate pigs entirely, by the way. We raised them for one year and decided they weren't worth the hassle. They're the worst.


Dangerous too. Pigs and bulls, not worth the risk.

Give me a dumbass sheep any day over something that with chase you from one side of a paddock to the other trying to kill you the whole time.
