Fencing For Sheep
How to choose the best fencing for goats and sheep
Sheep are unique creatures. If you’ve ever seen one, you know what we’re talking about!
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.
You should know that sheep:
- Are curious by nature. It should be no surprise if you often find them roaming around, exploring new areas.
- They can jump! Sheep can jump anywhere from 4″ to 5″
- They are social animals. Sheep like to be in groups, as it provides safety and interaction.
