Fencing
Fencing
is one of the most important aspects of raising sheep and goats. It usually represents a significant capital investment. Not only must fencing contain stock, but but it must keep all predators out. There are many fencing options. On this page, links are arranged alphabetically according to topic: electric fencing, fence construction, fence chargers, fencing costs, fence posts, general references, high-tensile fencing, predator control, rotational grazing, and temporary fencing. A list of fencing vendors can be found on the Product and Services page.
