We're more than midway through our lambing season with 11 live lambs and 3 lost. 6 more ewes are waiting to give birth. The new Spanish Boer Goats are getting more adventurous and have made it to where they can see the rest of the Flock. Herd. Flerd? Whatever...
We talk a bit about how we trained our goats to respect the portable electric fence. The process of training goats to stay in a paddock made using poly braid or polywire reels and step in posts is fairly simple. You need a secure training lot where the animals can't run through the wire, and a good electric fence charger and grounding system. Keeping them well fed helps prevent incidents as they get conditioned to respecting the temporary electric fencing wires.
