Avoiding a charge!

 

Two of our ewes, and their lambs, have found a way through our electric fence. I had to round them up and walk them through to field 1 and put them in there. Field 1 was where we had been keeping them previously but we moved the sheep to field 2 so that field 1 could recover from 3 years of constant grazing. Two ewes and two lambs in a two acre field should mean the grass continues to grow quicker than it is eaten for the time being. Nevertheless we needs to sort the electric fence and find where they are getting through as our Hebridean sheep are due to go onto field 1 in month's time. By then, they should be lambing.
