Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: fencing questions
That's right Mary Jane!
And I was just reminded of that multi champion suri Seattle Mist, who
got a rear leg caught jumping a fence... it broke, the leg, not the
fence... by the time they discovered him it was too late to save the
leg and it had to be amputated. Luckily he learned to use the
prosthetic leg and can even breed so I understand! But inadequate
fencing is very dangerous. Certainly an ounce of prevention, while
possibly costly, can certainly be worth more than a pound of cure.
(If we'd just done it right the first time...)
Haha! Yes, that boy of ours who jumped the 4' fence... well, we had
to take down the whole run of 4' and replace it with 6', so we had to
buy twice the amount of fencing. We could have used 5' but this boy
hated the other one so much that we thought, let's do it really right
this time! Ain't no way an alpaca's gonna get over a 6' fence!
