Fencing query here: We have a large field (over 10 acres) that we would like to move the sheep into. The field has hedgerow around it, but it obviously has loads of gaps - and also ditches. Part of it is adjacent to a
very large pond.
Stock fencing is out of the question (because of the size and money it would take to do it all) - so what other options do we have for keeping the sheep in?
Strip grazing no good as we need it to stay 'in one piece' (also, when we've tried it they just barge through it). We've tried post and elec wire but the grass shorts it out quicker than you can say 'doh!' (I could spend all day out there strimming it back and still wouldn't get it all). Laying hedges is a long term project - and we need them in this summer.
Advice on how you do it please.
