I always loved the response the late John Cherrington was given by a Kiwi farmer on being asked, how he managed to train his sheep to stay put with just one live wire. Kiwi reached in the Ute and grabbed his rifle from the rack and told Cherrington, "they get out just once...."We had a few cows that learnt thatver the years. And had a few (ancient) ‘live’ stakes that came out when retraining was required. Worked a treat.
The trick was to nip it in the bud before they taught any others to do it, just like lambs that learn to get through fencing.
I suspect we have all felt like doing that once ot twice....
