Fencing for all...

yep. this. except I'd go 2x4 goat fencing to keep the kids from getting their heads through and stuck.

and another hotwire on the outside low to keep the predators out.

except for sheep. sheep quickly learn that they can get their heads under the bottom of electric fence, get zinged once, and then the fence is on the wool and they're insulated. and lambs don't seem to learn not to put their heads through it... but once they do, they don't seem able to back out so they get zinged and yell, zinged and yell...
we've found electric net fending will work on sheep if it's 1)VERY strong shock 2) too small a grid to get their heads through and 3) secured at the bottom to the ground every 3-4 feet.
