Think of our fences as a strong outer ring...Alina,<br /><br />Think of our fences as a strong outer ring with lines coming in from the outer ring that sub-divide the total field area into small paddocks. The animals are moved through the paddocks as they graze down the plants. The outer ring is hot smooth high tensile four wire since we also have sheep. The inner perimeters are two to three wires of polywire on step-in posts.<br /><br /><a href="http://Kencove.com" rel="nofollow">Kencove.com</a> has a good description of how to fence in their <a href="http://www.kencove.com/fence/resource.php" rel="nofollow">resources</a> page.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />-WalterWalter Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720110642967540506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333651228292005412.post-48425471991176656942010-02-02T07:59:17.217-05:002010-02-02T07:59:17.217-05:00Strobe is good.

Ove...Strobe is good. Motion detector is good... :)<br /><br />Over on my <a href="http://SugarMtnFarm.com/blog" rel="nofollow">Sugar Mountain Farm</a> blog on the <a href="http://sugarmtnfarm.com/blog/2010/01/cold-morning-stars.html" rel="nofollow">Cold Morning Stars</a> post you asked about fencing. Check out <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=site:sugarmtnfarm.com+fencing" rel="nofollow">these</a> articles for details on fencing. We fence outside perimeters strongly and then use polywire on divisions due to cost and time. Netting works great as a temporary fencing. There are some <a href="http://sugarmtnfarm.com/blog/2008/06/poultry-netting-for-pigs.html" rel="nofollow">tricks</a> to it. Get a good fence charger, 6 joules or more is ideal, minimum of 2 joules. Realize that the animals need training to electric fencing in a physically well fenced area with the electric inside of that.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />-Walter<br />Sugar Mountain Farm<br />Pastured Pigs, Sheep & Kids<br />in the mountains of Vermont<br />Read about our on-farm butcher shop project:<br />http://SugarMtnFarm.com/butchershop<br />http://SugarMtnFarm.com/csaWalter Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720110642967540506noreply@blogger.com
