Hi - we regularly have to check our fencing as the wild boar are constantly making holes in it.  We have neighbouring sheep and I wouldnt want another ram getting in and mating with my pure breeds.  I dont expect my neighbours would be very pleased either.  Dont think there is a 'morning after pill for sheep' correct me if I am wrong.  lol  Thats the biggest problem with sheep - the grass is always greener on the other side.  We have 22 hectares of grassland and trees so if they get out they can wander a fair way - luckily they will come to a loud shout and a bucket.

Glad they've come back safely.
I've got a lamb who keeps on holding her breath and bursting through the electric fencing to get to the vegetable patch. Anyone want a lovely little Wiltshire ewe lamb? ;)
