I wonder what kind of insulators you use, thickness of wire, pulse or continuous shock? How big of a pasture was he in, how often checked on?

Sheep eat nearly all the time, that is, if they aren't chewing cud or napping. So they will always be "hungry" and looking for more.

With my hot wire, it pulses, the insulators will snap at the least. Wire will snap if enough force goes through even after the insulators snap.

Your unfortunate event is why I chose polled sheep, couldn't take it if they decided to be dim, get stuck and die or be seriously injured.

Hopefully, it's a one time thing.
