This place was/is fenced and fixed with horses in mind. That's how I bought it. I have 2 acres, 24x30 2 stall barn and a full perimeter fence that is half done in wire fencing with barbed wire at top and half done in three rail wood fencing-no wire. My plan was/is to add livestock wire to the wood fencing and a strand of barbed wire at top and bottom to keep out the coyotes-which I have heard often at night-not too close but not very far away... I've been here less than a month and have seen NO loose dogs nor heard them at night (mine sleep indoors with me and I already fenced in a yard for them) I plan on using about 3/4 for animals and 1/4 for house, garden and a few fruit trees. I do not plan on large scale farming, nor do I plan a 'profit'-these will be for my own personal use as a handspinner. (any $$ might come from selling my craft or extra fiber) Does the fence seem reasonable to you? What might make it better? For information I plan on keeping a small breed such shetlands- and at this time don't plan on breeding. I feel I have too much to learn to start out with that in mind. thanks, betty
