Electric fence wire sticks to a magnet.

Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

The claim that electric fence wire sticks to a magnet is partially correct, depending on the material of the wire. Many electric fence wires are made from conductive metals like steel, which is magnetic, or aluminum, which is not. Thus, the wire's susceptibility to magnetism depends on its composition.
