No one tell my lambs that they do not respect the electric fence. I use the wire not the tape for them and have a tape top one for me to see! In six years of breeding woolybacks I have not had a lamb escape from the electric. Under gates and down ditches then yes they are little tow rags.
i keep over 1000 lambs behind electric, i think your doing it wrong. The op suggestion of strip grazing, although not ideal is better than set stocking. Better still mob graze as suggested if you want to improve quality. For 4 lambs I would be very tempted to set up a walking fence and move every day.
