Electric fence

We've moved  a small group of 4 rams. We dont want to give them access to all of a big field - they will just wander everywhere and eat down then good-quality grass. So if they are restricted to a smaller area they will have to graze the not-so-good stuff as well as the good stuff.

so we put up a temporary electric fence. Their fleece  will likely insulate them from the electricity if they brush against it , but the bits that havent got fleece will receive the small shock  - and we are told they learn very quickly to avoid the fence.

a problem can be vegetation   causing a short-circuit  when its all wet after rain , so this need cutting back.

 
 and the electricity - a fully enclosed battery and a live to the fence. And ensure there is a good earth connection
