The Paddocks

The paddocks are constructed with 5" treated timber round posts and concrete based straining posts at specific corners.  3 strands of high tensile plain wire form the perimeter of paddocked area and this is topped with 20 ml high visibility electrified tape suspended on extended insulators. The electric fencer itself is housed in a locked workshop in the yard and power to the circuit can be controlled by a series of crocodile clips around the enclosures.

Internal divisions between the paddocks are constructed with 3"/4" posts, again strung with 20 mm electrified tape. This provides flexibility of access for various treatments of the paddocks such as topping, mowing etc. 

Each paddock is supplied with its own water trough, providing a constant supply to all animals.

Access to the paddocks is by way of hard tracks and treated larch gates.

Each paddock is assigned to a specific client, who is responsible for its day to day maintenance. Seasonal management  - topping and weed control  - is the responsibility of the management.

Generally, the paddocks are occupied throughout the year, although in particularly inclement weather, the management reserves the right to restrict access.
