This morning I saw how they getting out the biggest lamb just jumps over the fence like a race horse then his 2 mates just push thro the wire to be with him

How many strands of tape and how high is the top strand ? That’s good going for lambs on the top hole on 3ft stakes to jump out. Normally for a partition fence I have 3 strands of wire. For hedgeline fences 2 strands is normally enough.

4 strands and the top one is on the second to last hole thing , I will lift it up tonight, they is no massive stress in them getting out other than trying to find them etc they can't get out of the main feild but just mix in with the horses etc

Quick up date , I put the fence on the top hole of the post and the biggest lamb just jumps straight out , I will try get a pic of him doing it , when the lasses feed the horses he just jumps out goes and sees them trys to pinch horse food then jumps back in again

I had one that did that and got better at it as a shearling - straight over the top wire, so easily that I think she could have jumped out over stock fencing and top wire ... sorry but she went in the freezer!
