Sheep aren't known for their intellect, so when one out smarts you...one, two, three...four times? Might be time to put down the iwhatever and focus on real deal fencing.
Now I know why the pigs are kept in a barn 110% of the time (except during their escape from truck to barn).
I am absolutely astonished at the frequency of her animals busting through the fence. It's a clear sign that her fences are piss poor, and the sheep must not have enough food. Sheep are incredibly easy to fence in. The ONLY time my sheep have ever gotten out of any fence I put them in (after years and years of owning sheep) is when I had them in a double strand of electric tape, which was only 2.5' tall. And even then, they only jumped out to follow the goats. If her fences are that poorly, then it would be incredibly easy for a predator to get in as well.
