SHE'S HOT!!!! AND LOVES FARM CHORES!! ELECTRIC "POULTRY" FENCE NETTING TUTORIAL!

What happens here

Before laying out the fence, it's crucial to prepare the area. The presenter emphasizes that the grass must be cut very short where the electric netting will be installed. This prevents tall grass from touching the electrified lines and grounding out the fence, rendering it ineffective. The temporary nature of this fencing is highlighted, explaining its use for rotational grazing of goats, allowing them to graze different sections of the field as the season progresses. The field is shown to be mown short in preparation.

Goal: Prepare the fencing area by ensuring grass is short and plan the layout, understanding the temporary nature of the fence for rotational grazing.

first thing that I learned the best thing that I learned about putting up this netting this poultry netting or sheep netting or goat netting any type of electric netting is to make sure that the grass is only about that tall okay you can't put it up in tall grass and it's a royal pain in the butt to weed eat around where you're gonna install it so our field the grass is nice and short now the goats will eat it down we'll keep moving them throughout the field as the year goes on basically the plan is to rotationally graze our goats in different parts of this field right here I'll show you the field oh this field back here there's no use in be mowing it when I have lawn mowers already built into the farm right now all this type fencing is temporary okay the reason we're doing it is because it's temporary we don't have new fences built here on the farm and it's gonna cost us somewhere in the neighborhood of ten to fifteen thousand dollars to fence the farm the farm doesn't have any fences right now so in order to keep the goats off my neighbor's front porch which that's where they ended up last year we got to keep them fenced and we got to keep a tight wrap on it and hopefully this rotational thing will work if you watch yesterday's vlog you'll know that we're gonna build a goat mobile okay so we're gonna build a vehicle basically or a wagon to transport the goats around with and we'll be able to put the hay on there and we'll be able to have the goats housed in the goat mobile so it should be pretty cool well feed them in the goat mode beyond that way when we need to move them you can just close the door and move them to where we want to go at least that's the plan for now so let's get this fencing laid out so now
