Thanks for another great video. -It is probably worth mentioning that you appear to be using 34" hog panels rather than the 4' panels you discussed earlier in the video. I imagine it would work about the same, but it would be harder to step over. Thanks again for all your content.
Tried chasing my sheep one too many times. Going to build one of these. Thanks as always, this channel always answers the questions I didn't even know I had. lol
Great idea. What are the dimensions from post to post for easy set up? To lock them in you probably have set measurements to set it up efficiently time wise. Thanks...
We usually just take our desired panel and have another person help us bend it in a half circle and mark the ground/drive a couple T posts. If you don’t have a helper, you can set one T post, tie the panel to it, and bend and mark the other side yourself. This will be a lot easier for you and won’t require measuring. We personally think a 16’ panel works best. Anything less than 12’ and your pen will be too small. Hope this helps.
Hi, I just purchased my first sheep a week ago. Four of them. Hobby farmer here. I’ve been checking out your videos and have subscribed. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
That's a great idea, using the hog panels. Have you ever had any goats try to jump it? I've used hog panels to secure my does, but my buck could jump them. I used cattle panels for his pen.
We don’t normally have an issue with them jumping the pen unless we try to hold them in there for extended periods of time. It seems they do fine for short stints for health checks, etc…
@@LinessaFarms In my case, if I'm trying to catch them in such a confined area for medical checks, sooner or later the skittish will jump out, even if their favorite feeder is set in the middle...so 5 ft panels for me, and thanks for the video
Very timely! Just started my flock and have been run ragged trying to get them wormed! My pastures are 35mx35m each and I graze 7 days or until the grass gets to 10-12cm. I need a mobile corral that can be set up in the dry lot to gather animals and funnel them into a ramp. Thanks for a functional idea under $1000....the first one in a very long time!
Thanks for the comment and sorry about the delayed response. We agree gathering livestock can be time consuming and exhausting. Hopefully you will be able to use our idea and modify it in a way that will help you with your needs. Thanks again for watching our videos and for the comment!
Thank you, excellent info!! This is going to help me a lot. I had a sheep killed by a Coyote (brutal & savage) and need to be able to corral my herd to get them in the barn overnight, esp. at certain times of the year.
Hello! I am not sure if there is a brand name. I will have to check. These are used widely in the US and most farm stores have stacks of them. This is a widely mass produced item here.
Hi Sam. We don’t have a set distance we use. Usually it’s just estimated based on the size and shape we need. I will usually set one post and then have a helper with me. As we bend the panel to where I want it, I place a mark on the ground.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Steve. You’re a bright ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day. With that being said, we normally build the pen, put our feed in it, walk away, and then once they are in there eating, close them up. We won’t get into a “my goats are wilder than yours” contest but we don’t run a petting zoo either.
Your video saved me over $7,500. Many thanks!
Wow! That’s awesome. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave such great news! We are happy for you and glad to help. 🥳
Simple great idea

That was my question. It seems like it’d be nice to know what the perfect distance apart is for your four t posts for four 16’ panels

Awesome system, will definitely be applying this to our farm!
Thanks! It’s easy, inexpensive, and portable. Hard to beat. 😬

@@LinessaFarms I subscribed, love your info! Your herd is gorgeous.
very nice, thank you
Thanks Gerald!
Very interesting, thank you. Though I have never seen these flexible panels here in Germany. Could you provide a brand name, please?

How far apart are the t-post?

never going to work with wild goats they wont come anywhere near any person. nice try though.
