BrownSheep- It's been a while

Congrats on the lambs!

Are yaks hard to contain then? Or do you have fencing issues?

 

[BrownSheep]

Both. We have seventy or eighty year old fences. But I've also watched them jump over 5-4 ft fences.

We hope they don't bored. They rarely go for the five footers so most of our fences are at least that high. I really do think it has a lot to do with them being bored. They had been staying in that pasture for about 6 weeks before they started going on their walk abouts.

what about adding a hot wire to the top of the fence?
would that help

I'll have to rethink my plan for wanting yaks...or at least rethink my fences

Wow. I'm glad that the deaths seemed to have stopped but that's a really bad loss.
