  • This video, episode 402 we setup & explain our multilayered strategy to protecting our flock from the wildlife. We have recently been acquiring more of our favorite farm animals & we want to set them up for success. If you have any tips or tricks to protecting your animals or if you'd like some ideas to defending yours, consider checking out & posting in the comments below. We would love for that space to become a place for folks to help each other. Protecting your animals is no easy task sometimes! Thank you so much. Have an amazing Thanksgiving!

    FYI, the goats will separate that fence panel you wired to the post within a few years. I recommend you use a much heavier gauge wire and wrap it around the post. When I built my goat pen with cattle panels, I butted the ends of the panels together and used hog rings to hold them together. The goats managed to separate them in just a few years, so I wired them together. That lasted longer, but they still managed to separate them. I started overlapping the panels so the connections were reinforced. You might want to use any leftover panels to reinforce those joints. It's amazing how hard on fences the goats can be.

    We've had a few rattlesnakes show up on our property here in the S.NV Mojave desert. We have one acre fenced of our 5 that I've been strengthening and raising the height. That for security and to keep our Great Pyrenees inside. Last summer a sidewinder was inside our "common area". Since I was away working, we had our neighbor come by and "take care of it". He deposited it in the vacant desert outside of our property. Lo and behold, Zombie rattlesnakes do exist!! This thing resurrected with it's head hanging on by a thread and made its way half way through our 1/2" hardware cloth fencing and then expired there. I would never have believed it if my wife did not catch it on video. So now I'm most of the way through putting 1/4" hardware cloth around the perimeter of the one acre, recessing it below ground and wiring it to the existing fence. I did 500' with 24" tall wire but have now switch to 48" tall. I'm hoping that they won't try to crawl over the shorter fence but I reckon that we will see. No worries about the coyotes, though. Do-gee takes his job seriously while the Labrador runs to us nervous and whining. But I love the desert life. Wouldn't want it any different.

    Weird fact that I learned in a “Chicken 101” class (at the local hardware store), is that chickens 🐓 roost in trees 🌳. However, the weird fact is that bobcats will climb up the tree and push them out so that the larger predators can eat them instead of the bobcats 😳🤯!!! Another thing I learned, is that raccoons 🦝 can reach through chicken wire and so, they recommend hardware cloth instead .

    Pyrenees, like some other Livestock Guardian dogs are notorious for wandering. They don't feel the electric fence and if there is a predator out there he will find a way put. I have almost 6ft fences and my Maremma's can get out if they wanted to even with no climb deer fencing. They are either jumpers or diggers but lots of fun and do their jobs..

    If I were you, I would place one of your wire/staple arrangements at every space between the horizontal wires to make sure the ends of the panels are properly supported against the goats. Normally, the panels would meet at the middle of the posts. Then, the wire would be backed by the posts and a staple at every other horizontal wire would be sufficient. You might also consider using heavier-gauge wire. Between the fence and the staple. It is harder to work with, but the extra strength will be worth the effort.
