Sorry to hear about the loss of your sheep. Besides shoring up the fence line, what other security measures are you looking at to protect your sheep? How many sheep were killed/injured?
Shoring up the fence line is about the best we can do and has worked well until these dogs showed up. We lost 7 sheep out of 11. We will double up on some areas of the fence. There was a rock fall off on one area where I was working in the video and there is a hole. What I noticed worked well is to put another layer off fencing outside and half way up the existing fence with the rest of the fence extending outward and away horizontally on the ground to prevent going under. This only works realistically in areas that are uneven and rocky. Aloha.
Wow, I didn't know you had Sheep, I wondered from time to time why you didn't have them to help keep the property clear as well as for a farm product. I take it you don't have any Guardian Dogs to help protect your Sheep.
The sheep are on another property that doesn't have a house on it. Just a coffee property. No guard dogs for the sheep unfortunately. The farm is fenced all around as best as we can but the wild dogs I guess still got through. Sheep are amazing at keeping grass down. Cuts mowing down by 80%.
