Hello Gert, After watching the responses to your query for the last few days, and the good humour offered too, I decided to see what I could find on the subject.
If you go to either of my two favorite search tools <www.raging.com> or <www.google.com> and input the term stray voltage AND cows you will get a number of very good hits at the top of the pile of links they locate. (Don't use any quote marks surrounding the term) A quick read of a few of the papers indicates that cows are sensitive to very low voltages (well below 30V) and very small currents. And, although I didn't note any standards, per se, I did note a number of recommendations. Apparently this is a well-known and long-studied area of interest.
