Kevin and Julie join their friend Nick, a wildlife professional, to build a predator-prevention fence. This fencing style is cost-effective and manageable without fancy equipment. We walk you through the build and special features. Then we go into detail about why this design has proven so effective for keeping your crops and livestock safe from wildlife such as bears, cougars, bobcats, raccoons, and coyotes.
Here’s the predator fencing plan mentioned in the video: bit.ly/free-predator-fencing-...

6:03 - 8:44 What are some tips for working with electric fencing?
8:45 - 10:19 Is this the fencing you need to keep predators out and poultry, livestock, or plants in?

Thank you for making this excellent video to show that protecting livestock from carnivores is doable. Prevention seems so much smarter than climbing on the depredation-retribution treadmill.
Hey there! You are absolutely right. It takes a little more time and effort up front, but is so worth it in the long run.
Recently we were asked about something in this video: the yellow and black junction where the power comes up from the ground and connects to the polyline. That is called a single throw cut out switch. They are unnecessary for a fence project like this but make things easier. Using one makes it quick and easy to go in and out of the fence: you only need to throw the switch instead of unplugging the power supply. They run about $10 - $30 depending upon where you buy them.
the link to the fencing plan seems to be broken. I would be interested in the wiring, where to buy? thanks!
Here is the updated link! bit.ly/free-predator-fencing-diagram
I cant find information on the actual supplies that were used for this fence. Can you please share that? Specifically the cut-off switch and the extra long, black insulators/tensioners holding the wires. I’m not so much worried about the cost as the source of the materials, which I can’t seem to find at the major suppliers. They all sell smaller, less permanent ones. My fence is permanent and looks nearly identical to yours - no-climb horse fencing. Thanks!
Thank you for caring and asking! Nick collected all of these supplies over a long period of time and was also given some of them. So we didn’t have that info at the time of recording. We hope to put together a supply list at some point.
@@WildHomesteadLivingroger that. Thank you for replying!
Miss you guys!
Awe, thanks!! We are back and have some cool stuff in the works. Do you get our emails?
Nope. Sign me up. This is Aaron Erman by the way… 😁
@@MrPacificNorthWest AARON!!!!! We miss you too buddy! Maybe we should go on tour and do videos about homesteads in Tennessee and Iowa 😉
@@MrPacificNorthWest P.S. You gotta sign yourself up at our website (WildHomesteadLiving.com) so the internet gawds don’t think we are spamming you 😈
Can this be placed higher so children won't touch it? I recently visited an Airbnb campsite with glamping tents and they have a chicken coop on their property available to guests an'd they are also putting up an enclosure for rabbits. They said 4 chickens were taken in one night and not sure if it was a coyote. They have barbed wire above the coop and found no trace of fur or blood. It's cruel to have barbed wire and I want to make suggestions so they can successfully coexist with predators. Black bears have also been spotted near the property.
Thank you for caring about coexistence with wildlife? There really needs to be a low wire for this to be effective. Coyotes and other wild animals can squeeze under some small spaces. Perhaps the could add signage warning visitors as well as explaining the purpose? Maybe also a non-electric fence farther out to protect kids? It can take a few tries and creative thinking, but these kinds of solutions work better for people and wildlife in the long run.
@@WildHomesteadLiving Thank you. I'll make some suggestions.
The anxiety is problem is real, especially the not sleeping part. Stray dogs got 4 of my goats last month, yotes took a chicken a couple weeks ago, and the first day I managed to sleep past 4am, something dug into my bird pen, killed a duck, and ate a chicken.

We are so sorry you’ve experienced that kind of loss and stress first-hand. Many people complain about the cost of fencing, but it’s worth saving your sanity and livestock!

Instead of asking him to speak on the "cost benefit" I wish he would have asked the more direct question that everyone wants to know: How much did it cost for the materials?
Thanks for watching. We understand that money is an important part of planning any project. The materials for this were gathered over a long period of time, some purchased, others donated. So we don’t have an exact figure. Hopefully in the future we can do a project like this again and calculate from the start!
You can get an electric fence system for about $200. Same one used for live stock.
We just lost 6 turkeys to coyotes that jumped right over our 6ft electric fence.
We are so sorry that happened. We haven’t had the bandwidth to make more of this kind of video, but there are modifications you can do to make it higher.
Do you have a plan? I'm fighting yotes and strays out here right now, and jumping yotes is what concerns me the most.
Coyotes can jump over a 6 ft. Fence as if it was nothing!
It’s true they can, but we’ve had good success with this fence!
@@WildHomesteadLiving Many videos here on youtube of Coyotes jumping over 6’ fences as if they are nothing.
