I often receive calls from people wanting to know what type of
fencing is best for blackbelly sheep. I always tell them that 2x4 or
4x4 48-in.-high field fencing is preferred. But sometimes they ask
what I think about 5-6 strand electric wire or tape. I have no
experience with this type of fenc
We tried wire. My sheep learned to step on the wires to push them down and
then hunch through. My guardian dogs didn't even slow down, and I think
that's what gave the sheep the idea. Electric netting does work.

Carol, any kind of electric fence can only work inside of steel fencing, so as
to keep animals in specific places. Any panicking sheep will go through
electric fences in a second! None of the serious sheep raisers I know will use
electric only.
