[Jacob-list] lambs stuck in fence

One strand of electric wire right at nose height will do it. This is cheap and easy to put up. You just need a charger. You can get fairly inexpensive battery charged units that are portable. Or you can get electric or solar charged.

  Hi, everyone...

  Does anyone have good tips for keeping a lamb from getting stuck in a fence (other than expensive landscaping or moving fences)? I have one ewe that is getting caught every day or two. Her latest was to get her head stuck one way, then twist her neck around and back through the other way. She's been stuck 5 times and shows no sign of learning. Mowing the other side isn't the answer because neighbors own two pieces and won't be doing that. Partly because the other side IS landscaping. (At least they don't seem to notice that what they think of as garden is what sheep think of as a salad bar.)

  Brenda
