Non-electrified woven fence for sheep
Author: Scott

Do you recommend using your 8/32/9 woven wire fence without the pasture side electrified offsets for sheep? Would the sheep sticking their heads through the upper openings (and getting stuck) be a concern?

I know the standard cattle woven wire (other brands) is not a good idea for sheep, and sheep/goat wire with 4"x 4" openings is available. But are the upper openings in your 8/32/9 significantly larger than the 4"x4"?

The 8/32/9 can be used without an electric wire. The 9" vertical spacing allows the sheep enough room to pull its head out. I have done this for years with no problems.
