114 | Drought, Hay Prices, and Why We Bought Virtual Fence
About this episode
Millie discusses the decision to adopt virtual fencing technology for goat management and its implications for their ranching practices.
Our NoFence collars showed up on Friday, shipped all the way from Norway, and they've been sitting in boxes since they got here. Today I want to talk about why we finally pulled the trigger on virtual fence after years of waiting, what it opens up for us, including over two hundred acres of brush ground we've barely been able to touch with goats, and how it fits alongside the electric netting we've relied on for years. This isn't a replacement story. It's the next piece of the system. Let's get to it.
