I'll do that (run another line) asap - I have been trying to figure out a way to stop the escapes but had not thought about another line of electric so it's worth a try, let's hope it works. I was hoping the baby would grow faster so he'd have to spend more time in contact with the electric line figuring that would slow him down? Maybe with another line to rub against he will be deterred.
I also had been hoping the baby would bond with the wether and the horses and not WANT to leave the fence. If he stayed away from the road I wouldn't care so much about him getting out, but he heads straight for the road as he munches the grass along the way. My neighbor suggested I put the baby in with the chickens during the day in the chain link fence so he didn't have to be tethered ALL the time. I wonder how the chickens would feel about that? LOL . My neighbor now uses chain link to keep all his goats in - posts and chain link - they can't chew it, climb it, and sure can't get their heads through it
