The New Zealand holiday season is here; it looks like everyone has left Auckland in a mass North-South exodus. We are still here and will stay here. After all, it’s nice here.
The break from work-work gives the chance to spend some more time on farm work. Like fixing fences.
The pretty bad electric tape only lasts a few years, so every few years it needs to be replaced. This time, we opted to invest some time into long-term performance and added some high-tensile wires to the mix with proper connectors.
The goats decided to be cheeky again and tested the electric fencing around the shrubs.
They found that the electricity did not work thanks to the old, broken-down tape.
And proceeded towards eating some juicy shrubs, while the humans were not really impressed.
Now the enclosure has been made new and bigger.
Looks like the ducks have figured out that this is a haven from the pushy goats.
