We have 3 steers in our "front" pasture, two are ours and one belongs to the neighbours. Today CGTech and said neighbour went out and fixed the fence in the pouring rain so they could put the neighbour's pony in there too. He proceeded to chase the steers around till one went right through the electric fence. We got him back in (electric fences in the rain are NO fun). Now we have to decide.......try again to put the pony in with the steers (he got sent back to solitary confinement) or fix the fence in the "back" pasture and put the pony there? Both pastures have access to a year round spring and resultant stream (would be our alternate source of water if needs be, obviously with cattle moved downstream). The back pasture is about 6 acres and has more grass than that pony could eat all summer so no problems there. The front pasture has more grass than all 4 animals could eat all summer too (it's about 10 acres).
Anyone with experience in this area? I would have picked my dad's brains if he were still with us (he used to love it when I would do that )
