Herd animals by nature, sheep tend to group together because they are prey, not predators.

This means that protecting them against coyotes, wolves, bobcats or foxes should be one of your top priorities if you keep them in your property.

What to keep in mind

Sheep fencing should be designed and installed around the specific needs of the animals.

Whether you chose a woven wire fence, or if you are installing temporary fencing, you should always remember that the safety of your livestock is the top priority.
