MF fencing


Event Details


The first of 4 weeks work here. We will be split into 2 or 3 teams with different tasks.

Staple on an additional layer of stock fence around the 3 farrowing houses. Over 100m. The “irritation” here is that it will need to be cut into multiple short sections. There may be inquisitive piglets in the enclosures. (Approx half team)

Lay a path in the form of an approach ramp down to the water’s edge in the SE corner of the pond. Using teram membrane and scalpings. The line will be cleared of all weed/scrub growth by farm staff. Scalpins to be barrowed a few metres into place. (Approx half team)

Measure and lay out the structure of a raised floor and cage sides in the poke as preparation for 2 stoat/weasel enclosures. (2 guys)

JohnA and DaveH to share the task leader role.

task update. Necessarily a little vague due to the complexity of tasks and availability of suitable materials. We’ll do some of the work above but definitely bring all fencing tools and carpentry tools, plus the earth auger. The trailer will be parked nearby.
