Temporary fencing
Author: Jim 
Date:   03-06-05 10:44

I am needing to split a lot on our farm. One side will have newly weaned lambs. The other side will have ewes and lambs together. These ewes and lambs will be weaned in approximately 2-3 weeks. After weaning I might sort all the lambs into more equal size groups and leave fence in place, or I might take fence down and let all run together. I have solar powered charger that I am presently not using. Not sure of joules output. Total length of temporary will be 200'. Thanks for any suggestions.

For a temporary fence normally we would use electric netting for subdividing a 200' length of pasture. The concern is a physical barrier system is recommended when using as a weaning fence due to the draw of lambs wanting to get back with ewes and vise versa. Thus Nettings are Not recommended as barrier fences when weaning lambs from ewes. As a rotational (control) grazing the netting systems would be recommended.

Thanks
