A Time and Place...

Temperature: 42 F, clear & gusting

We have discovered that Hercules was not jumping the fence but using a slight hollow in the earth to go under the fence (as there is no current on the very bottom line of the mesh). The secondary line of fencing thus was sufficient to keep him in, as there wasn't enough of a hollow for him to wiggle under both, and wasn't enough space between the two for him to go between the two.

Thus both farmers were off to the Big City with reasonably clear consciences. All animals were still where they were supposed to be and no worse for the wear aside from a little hunger and thirst upon returning. They were duly fed, and we have begun to shift the pasture with the lambs, remaining visibly pregnant ewes and the rams further away from the pasture with the other ewes in order to reduce temptation for escapes. All in all, a productive day despite time spent away from the farm.
