SA sheep industry cheers $25m dog fence pledge

SA Country Hour: Lucas ForbesSouth Australia's ageing wild dog fence will receive a $25 million upgrade if the Federal Coalition is re-elected.If re-elected, the Coalition has pledged $25m to repair a 1,600km stretch of SA's wild dog fenceFarmers, who lost an estimated 19,000 sheep to wild dogs in 2018, have cheered the announcement

The Federal Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, said improving the dog fence was a multi-generational investment for the state."This is a 100 year old structure that obviously it needs replacing." "So while we can't sign off on the deal this side of the election, I think it would take a very brave Government indeed to take money away from farmers."The fence has been one of South Australian agriculture's biggest issues, with more than 19,000 sheep estimated to have been killed by wild dogs in the state last year.
