The electric fence would be a second fence inside the wooden fences. I was talking to a man when I first got here who tends the Buffalo and he said they have never had one get through even the wooden fences.
In the 7 years I have been here there have been 2 escapes by buffalo. Once one got out on one of the golf courses. There was a picture in the paper. Sure surprised some golfers but hurt no one. The other time was when they were on El Camino AND I mean ON El Camino
Real. I hear they were real happy to get back behind the fence.
