I have a mix of fencing, Dan. I have small gauge "equestrian" fencing against wooden posts. That fencing is in good shape and covers about half the property. Then I have regular stock mesh that needs some new posts in places. I also have a long line of wide gauge stock fencing that my Dorper x's couldn't go through (and would never anyway as totally not interested in escape and currently so old they barely move unless provoked).

I'm going to stick to polled sheep as I think I'll sleep better at night. I agree you have to get something you like the look of! I'll probably end up with some shetland ewes and/or ryeland wethers. I only need a few so the insane shearing on the ryelands may be okay. I prefer the easy-to-roo fleeces but we'll see.

Only few shetlands roo, and it generally runs in families.
