We have several smaller paddocks and a very large field. We were thinking that we could put the sheep in the smaller paddocks(about 2 or 3 acres each). We are only going to have 2 ewes and 4 lambs. However, it is a traditional style Canadian wooden fencing which was really meant for cattle and not sheep. Some of it also has up metal gates. Most of the fencing is in good condition but there are some breaks and lambs would be able to get out at almost every turn. My question is, should I just get some sheep fencing and put it up around the paddocks attached to the existing fencing. And also - can it just be tacked into place or does it need to be tighter and have some form of tension put in? We had someone do our fencing fro us in Scotland but can't find anyone to do it here and suspect it would cost a fortune so its all up to me. nThanks in advance.
