[AlpacaTalk] RE: electric fence

Thanks Rachelle. I am leaning towards the woven wire with a strand at
the top and a strand at the bottom (for the goats and digging
predators). I see the 5 strand suggested in goat books and it looks
more affordable, but I just don't see it dependably keeping critters in
AND out. If the goats weren't going to be sharing the new alpaca
pasture part of the time (night) I wouldn't even be putting electric
wire over there at all. I have *never* had a paca challenge a fence and
their fence is very cheap, old, and loose. Your boy sounds like
something else!

On a different note, I have wanted to thank you for being SO adament
about my separating my male. Some folks may have been offended by your
forthrightness, but I was not. It takes that sometimes to get me to
listen; as I know there is a best or preferred way to do things and then
just the way that *can* be done. As I am not a breeder, I take a lot of
what you guys say along those type of lines with a grain of salt.....I
am just a little ole homesteader trying to scrape by best I can on my
own and loving my alpacas. Had you not been so forceful, I would not
have done anything. But due to your continued harrassment <g> and
Heather's, I DID separate my male. It is a hassle every day as I don't
really have the set up to do that and we (my 10yo and I) are out several
times a day moving everyone around so they all get a turn at the "good"
pasture and the good hay and so noone has to be alone all the time. But
we have gotten into a routine with it, so it is not so bad.

And Merry Morning is doing great!

Thanks again,
Warmly, Janice, wondering how Jim's paca girl is doing? Any news?
