Mary: I have ordered 50# bags of food grade DE from Shadow Ridge Donkeys (http://www.shadowridgedonkeys.com/perma_food_grade.htm). Did you ever figure what happened to your lambs?
Sandy: Used the absolute best field fence you can afford for your perimeter and make sure it is properly installed (primarily adequate corner post/anchoring). My preference was the Kencove SolidLock 48" (at about $1.00 per foot). Properly installed it is worth the money. I don't use any other barbed or electrified wiring and have yet to have any problems with unwanted quests - knock on wood. I had a huge pine tree about 40' tall fall across it and all I had to do was to cut the tree and the fence stood back up by itself. I expect it to outlast me. I'm already having to replace the cheaper (Red Brand) field fence I used for one portion of internal cross-fencing - guess what I'm replacing it with?
