2. They will readily climb over fences

cape. Whether they Will go through n
closely built barbed wire fence to at
tack sheep or poultry In stlil AN open
question.
4 woven-wire fences should have
meshes. when rectangular. less than 6
by 8 inches. to keep out coyotes. For
such fences triangular meshes are
much better than square ones.
3. la fencing against coyotes with
woven fences care must be used to see
that there are no openings at the
ground through which the animals car
force through. since they are more like
iy TO crawl under q fence than To- jump
over it.
6. II seems reasonably certain that n
