It's two different fences. The rope is for horses. We run through horses in a narrow track loop around the outside edge of the sugar bush and then this season we have been rotating the rams in the center of the doughnut of the horse track to eat the understory growth. In the past we would unleash them in the whole area but it turned out to be too much fence to maintain to keep them contained reliably. Now we rotate them with the net fence. A bit of a pain but it's forcing me to clean everything up and make clear paths for fencing all throughout. Next season will be much easier.
