[blackbelly] Fencing, lambing

[The Wintermute]

Fencing:  After several months of investigation, we decided to go with a high-tensile field fence out of a company in Texas, they build it to order and ship very quickly.  We did this since you can keep the fence posts over 50 feet apart if you put it under tension.  They are destroying “regular” field fence with their climbing.  What we have decided is to use the high tensile field fence with strands of electric fence on top with 8 foot posts.  May be overkill, but so far we have had no losses from coyotes.  We are between two packs and we hear them every night.   Lambing: FYI in the last 9 days we have had 25 lambs born.  We didn’t like them strung out over months and now they are coming so close together its hard to keep up.
