aye right away at it     what we do is disconect the leadout wire at the energiser switch it on listen to the  the volume of the tick and touch the lead out wire on the terminal if it is earthing out the volume is drawn down  if it is alright it will be the same volume

If the energiser's within earshot of the sheep then they do make a whine noise between the clicks (at least mine does). I'm sure the pony knows when I've forgotten to turn it on.

Our horse always knows when its off.

The goats definitely know when its off!  YOu can literally see them bristle and step back when I plug it back in after milking time! And that's when the 'clicks' are not audible to me.  Cooking slug tends to make it click really loud, most mornings I have to scrape exploded sluggies off the tree where they've got caught in the fencing, yuk.


I believe the fox can tell when its on too.  Shame my vet couldnt', he got a ping on the nose
