Spring time Moveable enclosure
Well Hello sun..... we today for us at least ( some of you who I speak to have been blessed with a lot more than us )
Here we are going to chat about keeping animals in a moveable enclosure, I am looking at Sheep, pigs and cows.
Keeping them where you want them:
Electric fencing is a highly effective way of containing or strip grazing your animals and/or splitting up existing fields. A visible and easily moveable three line fence provides strip-grazing when it is erected across fields. So why would we move animals around? It enables pastures to be rested, de-wormed and properly grazed and it can also be used to keep pigs away from specific areas or to separate incompatible animals.
Sheep
Using the 3 lines with sheep will enable you to change the heights to suit lambs and sheep. You can also use the reels as strip grazing or as a field boundary line or protect your lambing area with ease.
Pigs.
I think people think pigs are very dirty stinky animals but that is not true (although at the moment whilst they are spreading on the fields I am not loving pigs…) Yes pigs like to wallow in the mud (much like my dog……)but it is very healthy for a pig to do this, it cools them down and keeps bugs and bacteria at bay.
While it is well accepted knowledge that pigs wallow in mud in order to regulate body temperature and keep cool, but did you know it is also for their wellbeing. So a happy pig has food and water, shelter with bedding, a wallowing hole, a place to forage and interaction from humans.
Cows
As the new stock are coming out into the fresh grass some for the 1st time, I love the bucking and farting around they do so nice to see them with grass under their feet,we look to pasture manage so we can prolong the grazing this kit will in able you yo do this with ease
Here are some of our Kits:
1) Standard Strip Grazing
The standard 3 line strip grazing kit comprises of polywire and twenty 85cms (3’) tread-in plastic posts and will cover a distance of max 160m. There is a choice of battery or mains driven energisers and both kits come with a complete set of instructions.
If your land is particularly uneven, or you do not have a wooden securing fence post already in place, then we advise that you add two steel corner/end posts to the fence line. These posts act as secure and strong anchors and provide additional tensioning and stability. We also recommend the use of wooden intermediate/corner posts; they provide security and stability to the fence.
