Title: Goat issues
Post by: scj white on February 14, 2016, 02:54:51 am

Hi guys
I have 5 shrophire sheep which I have for managing grass on a 5 acre site. In a neighboring field a variety of horses goats and somtimes sheep are in residence owned by people who have attracted the attention of the RSPCA and other regularity bodies.
There current group of animals  including very young goat's are finding ways onto my site and I am worried about diseases and general damage. What can I do if anything to prevent or discourage these animals. The people have threatned to put nasty cows onto the site if they get reported for animal welfare issues again.

I would do a very thorough check of your fencing to see where they are getting through and repair any problems. A line of electric above any stock fence will also put off any prone to jumping.
