Hello,
I have just started out in sheep keeping. I have a couple of Ryeland ewes that I would like to move to new grazing and then add a few more to my flock.
I have been offered the use of a couple of acres of land to graze my sheep. There is a public footpath along one side so I want to fence it off so that my sheep are protected from any dogs. (The land has been used by dog walkers freely for some time now).
Firstly, I wanted to see if people think it is a good idea in the first place, as long as I can keep them secure.
Secondly, what would be the recommended fencing to put in place, height etc. to ensure that they are secure.
Any advice gratefully received as I am fairly wet behind the ears when it comes to sheep keeping.
I look forward to your help.
Zoe
