Well there they are... Frustrated and unwilling to jump the new fencing to cross the gate. Will this last? Only time will tell, but so far so good.
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.
UPDATE: this afternoon we found 3 females that had made their way into the yard. I cant be sure if they jumped the fence, the gate, or the sheep shelter roof. Fortunately they were not followed by and toms, so it wasnt a big hassle. I'll have to keep an eye out to discover how they are escaping now.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: Today there was a partial escape. I found 3 toms and 5 hens in the yard again, and sure enough the orange safety fence was torn off the fencepost. The safety fence was stapled to the post with 3/8 inch staples, about 2 dozen in all. They tore all of these out and hopped over the gate again. To fix it I restapled it with 1/2 inch staples. hopefully it will work.
