Electric Sheep Netting Fence Options & Reviews

Electric Sheep Netting Fence
When it comes to portable fencing for sheep, one of the most popular options is electric sheep netting - a portable electric fence option which is very secure and reliable.

While rolls of poly wire are an option for setting up internal paddocks for rotational grazing, electric sheep netting is our preference as a temporary or strip-fence option for shepherds, because it provides more security for your flock. A ram will go right through poly wire to breed your ewes, and it's very easy for coyotes and other predators to slip between or under poly fence wire, whereas electric sheep netting properly deters frisky sheep while also doing a nice job to prevent predators from injuring your flock.
