FWIW: I live around electric fences. For the most part, they are owned
by city-folk who have recently bought a place out here, have never seen
an electric fence, and don't know what to do with one (some don't even
know not to touch it, but they tend to learn :-) ). Pretty much like
clockwork, one will pop up in the HF bands, particularly in the winter.
I've found the best solution is to take my KX1 out, find the arc(s),
ground the fence, fix them, and remove the ground. I talk to the owner
the first time, and they're always a happy to have me do it, often it
gets into their TV and cordless phones as well. After that, I just do
it. They think I'm a great neighbor, they have no idea that it takes
only 30 sec or so to fix it, and I keep my mouth shut. YMMV
The NB on my TS-850 doesn't do much with the pulses either, don't know why.

Hello Arie,
I can confirm that the noise blanker does not work at all with electric
fence pulses. Unfortunately I experienced that the noise blanker is very
critical to the type of noise. Up to now I did not find any "real life
noise" that could be handled by the NB. I heard several comments that it
should work well with ignition type of noise sources. So I was very
surprised that I could not see any difference with or without the NB when
having troubles with the electric fence. So, you are not the only one having
doubts about this NB.
