How to Choose the Best Fencing for Goats and Sheep
Sheep are fascinating creatures. If you've ever observed them, you know exactly what we mean!
Sheep are highly intelligent, curious by nature, and social
By nature, sheep are herd animals that prefer to stay in groups because they are prey animals, not predators. This means that safeguarding them from predators such as coyotes, wolves, bobcats, or foxes should be one of your top priorities if you're keeping them on your property.
Key Considerations
When setting up fencing for sheep, it's important to tailor it to their specific needs. Whether you opt for a woven wire fence or decide to install temporary fencing, always prioritize the safety of your livestock.
A high tensile wire fence should be tall enough to keep sheep contained
Here are some things to keep in mind when considering sheep fencing:
Sheep are naturally curious and will explore their surroundings. It’s common to see them wandering around, investigating new areas.
Sheep can jump! They have been known to leap heights of up to 4 feet.
Sheep are social animals that thrive in groups. Being with others provides them both safety and companionship.
