The system we utilize on the Farm to protect our animals from wandering into areas that could pose a risk or hazard to them is electric fencing. They are very intelligent and discriminating in where they go, but also curious and adventurous, especially Draupadi, Salouni and Premanjana (all the ladies...mmm...we wonder why...). So we are on rescue missions sometimes - we are convinced that they just like our company and the attention we give them by literally running behind them to encourage them to graze and wander where it is in our view "safer".
When there is a small team, the fencing like the other services on the farm, is quite a Project! Proper equipment, strong arms, good legs and teamwork are essential as the pastures are large. A little ingenuity is always necessary too - usually an unintentional result of "there has to be an easier way".
