FOR SHEEP
"Shocking

work done in New Zealand, Ohio
and Oregon bi confbibig sheep
with electric fencbig. A m ajor

Schroeder,County Extension A -
gent. The risbig costs of con­
ventional sheep fencing and tin-
lim ite d a v a ila b ility of f a r m
lalior lu v e made it necessary
lor sheepmen to consider oilier
med,ods of containbig t h e i r
"woolics".
Sheepmen in New Zealand
have devclojied a method of a l-
tem atbig "hot" wires and ground
wires w ld , about <> to 8 inches
between a hot and ground w ire.
The sheep can 't stick his head
dirough without touching two of
die wires, bi Ohio sheep were
successfully fenced w ith two lioi
wires, die lirst 12 to 15 Inches
After shearing is a good tbne to
school your sheep. They must be
attracted to die fence where
t h e y learn that it has a kick.
Alter tlie in itia l stbig they leani
tlie respect the w ire.
Electric fencbig w ill not work
everyplace, cautioned Schroe­
der. Much of our Curry coiaiti
rangeland is rough country w itli
brush always ready to gromid
out ele ctric fence wires. But
look at die possibilities of con­
fining sheep to sm aller areas foi
rotational grazbigor for provid­
ing temporary pastures.
A bonus feature of electric
fencing was its effe ct on dogs
running sheep. The stray dogs
v e r y quickly learn to respect
die kick from die fence and take
pabisiostay away from it. W id,
Curry coiuity sheepmen losing
sheep to dogs this m ight lie die
m ajor benefit bi problem areas.
Tlie most apparent advantage
ol electr c fences is die low cost
compared to conventional fenc­
big. bi Ohio die price ranged
from 4 0 to 60 cents per rod w id i
two men bulldbig one m ile of
fence in six hours.
" I'v e used it oil m y own

concluded die a g e n t , "and I
know it works. M aybe it would
fit on your ranch, too. "
