Re: Foal trimming, aussie, electric fence
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hahaha Brian, maybe your grass stays wet all year but believe it or not with a 115" rainfall the grass does have to be licked. Actually I developed quite a knack of running the blade through my mouth ,much like the proper way to eat parsley. My electric wire seems to have enough kick but the grass does not show it unless it is wet. Don't spoil my fun!

Be sure, of course, the blade of grass is not from a corner etc, re dogs. Yuk!! Jean Jean, I hate to take away the thrill and challenge of not knowing whether you've picked a piece of grass that's never been pooped on by a bird, peed on by a dog, stepped on by a horse's dirty foot, growing out of a pile of horse poop, etc... : ) But you don't have to lick it! The water in the grass transmits electricity just as well as any moisture you put on the outside. I wouldn't blame you if you keep licking them though. No element of mystery and danger the other way! Carpe diem!! Brian : )

Not only do I get a laugh out of that story privately, I have used it (as well as the "I'm non-pathogenic", and "good thing they didn't name me Edward") bits as introductions to many talks I have given over my 20+ years as an Extension Educator. I believe that not only is it important to have a sense of humor -- laughter has actual great healing powers-- but it's important to be able to laugh at yourself.
