The original study assumed it was the current that aligned the cows. The
electric fence doesn't have any appreciable current until shorted to ground by
the cow or other forgetful fiend (myself included) Since the current is
orthogonal to voltage, or is that normal? but then I repeat myself, (yes, it
is gettting late, and where was I?) oh yeah, the cow would normally (I can't
help it) orient at a right angle to the fence until contact was established
and the as fast as the cow flies, re-orient themselves into stampede
configuration which might resemble a parallel to the fence position for a
moment or two.

Indecision may or may not be the problem.

Many pastures have electric fences. Accepted theory was that these
fences
applied electric shock to the animal that touched the wire. But this study
proves that the animal never really touches the fence. When they get near,
they align parallel and never contact the fence.

Cortland,
Interesting grant proposal. How would you plan to control for
herd
behaviour, since that may have direct influence on the cows desire to align
themselves relative to each other...
