So in another post about a bloke that has ferals ("Boars") eating all his lambs I made the claim that he just hasn't taken the first of the steps to safeguard his animals. That is exclusion fencing. Yes the cost is high, but not all his property needs to be fenced in this way.
It's pretty simple in concept, although quite a bit of work and cost especially in this country shaping the fencelines so they can be trafficked both sides by vehicle.
Exclusion fence the paddocks, then clean them out and keep on top of the things you leave behind, as you do with any conventional stock.
Any successful business needs a premises, the ewes need a secure premises too, that's a secure fenced area with food, shade, water and security.
Don't do it and sorry, you promote, feed and encourage the animals we know are coming in for a free feed.
These are some of the latest pics from the camera on the old arsenic mine track, same paddock as the OP shots. Yep, there is a real old arsenic mine out here.
This large paddock is one of the few left that haven't been boxed up, so it is full of ferals and no stock would be safe in here whatsoever.
None of us has any time to get there and fix the issue at present.
One of the shots has 5 dogs in the pic. Nice little family meeting.
