I thought I did on the Sainted Isle but that seems to no longer be the case … Recently, we tendered and won a block of 70ac on the outskirts of a village and accessed by a lane with houses off. I said to son after we’d walked the land that if we won, there would be trouble…… and yesterday we...

Just moved the ewes , 2 collapsed in wet puddle in the yard and started convulsing/ I pulled them away abt 5 yards and they walked off right as rain. Same on Sunday. I can only assume there is a live cable underground and am borrowing a CAT scan to check. I never got a shock or anything but...

Hi, I'm needing to badger proof a field. I've got the fencing sorted but I am loath to put in full mesh or solid gates to keep them out. Has anyone ever hooked up a standard galv steel field gate and electrified it as part of their electric fencing? Cheers!

I know it’s been done before but not for a whole so I thought I’d reopen the old arguement! What mobile pens would everyone go for out the 3 posted? Any pointers?

Is there one? All we want to do is divert a public footpath round instead of it going the middle of our farmyard. Everybody thinks it’s a good idea for health and safety and to provide a pleasanter walk. The problem is the council want £3125 plus a bit and we can’t really afford it esiecially as...
