Five Ba Gate

Spencer, our black sheep of the family (who happens to be white) is in big trouble again.

He has continued to leap through the gate and try to eat the newly planted willow.....

Even when the fence is electrified, he managed to squeeze between the top bar and the second bar - very skillful.

Now today it was very very cold with snow and generally freezing - me I wanted to come in from the field early as it seemed daft to be out there in the snow, ankles numb, when I could be indoors, with a big haynet and warm and toasty.

Mum and dad spent ages, putting in another strand all along the electric fence, and then putting two more of these gate thingies on so it is now a five ba gate - we'll see if he gets through this.

Otherwise I can see the lamb chop and mint sauce option looming......
