Get your place fenced in and shut the gate. That's about all I can say. We used the non climb horse wire, ours stay in, theirs stay out.

It is fenced. After talking it over, and walking it over, we found the hole. Thankfully the goats didn't find it! It looks like a coyote or something dug IN ( key missing birds ) and the dogs used it to get OUT.
Hotwire is going on inside and out. Talked to neighbors, they're OK with it.

I hope the hot wire stops the predators in their tracks. Don't you wish you could watch when the varmit comes back and gets zapped?

We're putting up this no monster: http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pr...erated-solid-state-fence-charger?cm_vc=-10005
It's going to be inside two lines, one in top one on bottom. Outside one line on bottom. Stretched around four acres or so of the property. Talk about reaching our and touching a critter. We're going to bury the lines at the gates so we don't have to touch the lines to move animals around.
For the buck pens I might run a strand or two on the side connecting to the does.
Burr's bachelor pen will also have a line. To keep him honest.
That's only about 2 miles of wire, tops. Plenty of juice.

...I may have just done a thing. 
My uncle Bubba got us an Anatolian puppy to replace Bear. Since he "stole" Bear from us.
If he gets it, I get the puppy Sunday. I don't know if I'm excited or not.

Hmmm Maybe he should give you back Bear and HE keep and train the puppy?

Won't burying the line ground it out? What about making a U-turn on the gate post and going back the other way?

I don't think beast would take the move to well anymore. He's getting up in age and grew up on the property he guards now.
Hey!
I'm just not excited about the training part of puppies.
And no, they make insulated tubing that keeps the wire from grounding out. I'll use that.

I got distracted while cleaning pens earlier. My husband took this golden opportunity to get some snapshots of me playing in pig poop. But they wanted loves!!!
The logs are in there so the pigs can break them down for bugs. We take it then and add it to compost piles when they get done with them. Poop and all.
