I move my flock every other or every 3rd day when on pasture and use a deep cycle trolling battery for power. Truth be told, I taught the coyotes to eat sheep by not doing a better job as far as containing them went. They used to have the run of about 25 acres and sere "contained" by a barb wire fence. At the time they were wool sheep, not the hair breed I have now and barb wire is just a back scratcher for the wool breeds! So the coyotes didn't have any problem keeping fat. The draft and riding horses out with the sheep couldn't have cared less if the coyotes ate all the sheep and the llama was a miserable failure. The dogs have been a Godsend. But they do bark- a lot-at night. I went to my neighbors and explained about losing all the sheep the year before and in both cases I got their support for the dogs in spite of the barking. It's not really bad except on clear night in summer when they have the windows open. The flock is a good 1/4-3/8 mile or more from the houses most of the time so that helps too. In winter they're in the barn and they don't bark much.
Trapping season is around the corner. I hope to do some damage to the canine population around me!

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
