thanks everyone. yes it is the portable soft stuff i am tlaking about, so that is a no-go it seems (as i thought). her field is onto a childrens play park on one side and a factory unit car park on the other so it is important to have robust fencing. she uses plastic posts and electric tape for her horses, which they respect, but i'd be a bit nervous about having just that for the sheep i think. i wouldnt want them (or any people) to get hurt. the 'problem' is that my sheep are really tame and actually seem to LIKE people so i'd be worried that they'd just 'pop out' to visit some humans!

i'm thinking she'll just have to keep him here!

unless she has the fenceing already surly a proper stock fence is not much more money? i hate elecric its only good for strip grazeing as if left in one place too long its get negleted and overgrown and then people mown when there stock is out its sometime good to put one strand near the top of a stock fence as a extra deternt.
proper fenceing should be first on the list of to do`s. and its not nice finding a lamb thats been stuck in the eletric overnight or more.
