[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6340504, member: 63856"] I've always been concerned more that if a lamb pushes through, whether by accident or intent; that if you have built a fortress, it won't get back to the teat. During lambing, I didn't put power on the bottom wire at all and basically run it along the grass as a visual thing, they never really tended to stray either. I do think that the main point in keeping stock is to ensure the grass has had that "blaze of growth" that Voisin mentions in his books - it's my golden rule, if there is one.. if it has, then everything goes well. If it hasn't, then it doesn't seem to go as well. Maybe my stock migrate when I'm not around and know my routine :D but the last time I had a lamb on the wrong side of the fence, it had gone thru a 9 wire HT fence with 2 electric wires - because it had too much room and didn't know what to do with it?
